Title:
Usability issues between Apple single-button mouse and contextual
menus
Status in “xserver-xorg-input-evdev” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-mouse
When installed on a Mac, Ubuntu does not offer a friendly way to bring
up a contextual menu. As the Apple mouse has a single button and the
keyboard does not have a contextual menu button, it is effectively
impossible to bring up a menu without changing mouse/keyboard.
This issue has been discussed in this spec draft:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Specs/MouseTweaks/Details
Quote: Apple PowerMac traditionally have a single-button mouse. You can
access the context menu with a modifier key, but the click&hold is more
intuitive for many.
A problem I can foresee is that ctrl is currently used to select
multiple items. Alt and Windows key are used as the Movement ket in
Sys > Prefs > Windows.
Tested in 10.04 and 10.10
