CTRL + Click not working on Mac

I use an IMac with a Magic Mouse 2, as there is only one button normally I can CTRL + click instead of right clicking but it’s not working on here

How does this impact your experience?

    Hi thanks for getting back to me. I hadn’t used FTO for 2 weeks because I’ve been busy but option + click was working fine before that and now when I use it just turns into the drag arrow like command and click rather than the menu I was getting before

      Hello @User Thank you for the update. Please try the following:
      “How to Enable Right Click on Magic Mouse 2

      Magic Mouse 2 does not have a separate right button, but it supports right-clicking through its touch-sensitive surface. To enable this feature, follow these steps:

      1. Open "System Settings" (or "System Preferences" on older macOS versions).

        • macOS Ventura and later: Apple menu () → System Settings

        • macOS Monterey and earlier: Apple menu () → System Preferences

      2. Go to the "Mouse" section.

      3. Enable "Secondary Click".

        • Select "Click on Right Side" or, if you prefer, "Click on Left Side".

      4. Close the settings and test the right-click function.

      Now, when you click on the right side of the Magic Mouse, it will register as a right-click, just like on a traditional mouse.”

    Hi @User! Please try using the Option button and left-click to open the context menu. Does this work for you?
