Right click using keyboard in Mac OS X

8,211

From "How can the mouse pointer be moved using the keyboard?":

Search for “mouse keys” in System Preferences. Enabling it (which can usually be done by tapping Option five times) allows the numeric keypad to function as an 8-direction “joystick” (7 = left+up, 8 = up, 9 = right+up, etc.). Use the keypad's 5 to click the mouse (press it twice, quickly to double click; hold Control while pressing to right-click).

    How can I do a right-click using the keyboard in Mac OS X Snow Leopard using the Logitech Wave Keyboard?

    The keyboard has keys as Fn + PrintScreen, but it only works in Windows, not Mac OS X.
