I have a MacBook Pro with a touchpad, and the only way I can figure out how to use the right click in my remote desktop session is by plugging in a mouse.

Ctrl-click (what I usually use for right click), doesn't work, as ctrl is used in Windows for other things. Is there an alternative?

Is there a way to get shift to work so you can input symbols? – ben950 Mar 21 at 10:52
