Summary0001372: right click on Mac OSX - beta 8
DescriptionThe internal touch pad on MacBooks doen´t have a right mouse key. Normaly Ctrl + click is interpretated as a right click by programms, but ardour doesn´t accept this. So I have to connect an external mouse to get some functions, that are unavailable otherwise.
Additional InformationMac Book, Mac OS X, Intel

we can't control how Apple's X11 converts key+button events into the world of X Window. I wish we could. you could consider using xev (run it from a terminal window) to see what X11 thinks Ctrl-click means, but I suspect it means "Ctrl-Button1" which is semantically totally different from "Button3". We have no plans to try to make Ardour highly usable with a single button mouse - most people I've seen using DAWs on a mac use a 3 button mouse just because its so much more powerful and convenient.

Your´re right, it gives ctrl + button 1. But with xev I found the solution, too. You have to use apple + mousbutton in X11 on the mac to get button 3! (shift-click for button 2). I use a three button mouse at home, but on the way with the notebook, I prefer the touchpad.

X11.app actually has a preferences setting that lets you toggle 3 button emulation on/off.

This is an X11 setting. Ardour can't do anything about it.
