How To - Right Click.

Hello,

Can someone please tell me how to get the Right Hand mouse button to work?
I've right clicked everywhere on the 4-screen desktop but nothing happens. And there's no mention of it in the touchpad section of the settings display.

Many thanks.

 

Hi Ranger5,

Try this open a terminal and type
xfce-setting-show

A new window opens here you click the desktop Icon and another window will open at the top you will see a box called allow xfce to manage the desktop make sure the little box on its left is checked then close the two windows and type exit on the next line in the terminal and reboot.

Once rebooted right click anywhere on your desktop what is the result?

 

Hi Barrie, thanks for your response.

I actually managed to find similar instructions here ( on my third time trying the search facility - first two times nothing helped)

I followed the youtube instructions and it has worked fine. I didn't notice a box called allow xfce to manage the desktop though.

Many thanks.

 

Hi Ranger5,

Pleased you have it working, just read my post again and should have added the following so for anyone else who wants to do this , once you open the desktop manager click the behavior tab and you will see two boxes at the top of the new open window.
1.Show window on middle click
2.Show desktop menu on right click. (check this box)

Sorry for missing this info out.
