I’d been very sad that I couldn’t open anything in new tab

You can get that via the secondary click context menu, but Apple-click is an even faster way to open new tabs. (Or, if you hook up a multi-button mouse, click with the middle button — that works too.)

I was gonna jump in with the answers, but you already figured ‘em out.

Anyway, in the event you haven’t already done this, I recommend turning on the Trackpad Gestures in System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Trackpad: “Use two fingers to scroll” and “Allow horizontal scrolling” are both incredibly helpful. And, as others have pointed out, to get a right-click without having to hold down the control key, turn on “For secondary clicks, place two fingers on the trackpad then click the button.”

I was able to edit together an entire DVD (in iMovie, of course) of my nephew’s 3rd birthday party due to that feature. My mom’s friend had her (Mom’s) camera and kept hitting the 30 sec. movie button instead of the shutter button.

It was awesome, as is almost any kid’s birthday party, when you can use the B52s as a soundtrack.

Although I use my trackpad and click a lot, I find a lot of other Mac users are totally committed to keyboard shortcuts. (There are a lot of them, evidently). They claim it gives you entire years on your life, so I should really investigate that more.

PC keyboards have both a backspace key, which backspaces, and a delete key, which deletes going forward. So you can delete backwards and forwards.

But I’m thrilled to find the control + click thing! I’d been very sad that I couldn’t open anything in new tab, or copy link location. And now I can!

No kidding! I’ve been beaten to the control-click punch several times over!

There will be other content soon; I just need to charge up the battery on my camera.

And I discovered that my camera actually takes short video clips! So maybe I can capture how adorable Miss Junebug is in the morning, or when I get home at night, when she does the Happy Dance.
