Sometimes I inadvertently right-click when I'm trying to scroll on my MBP's trackpad. Is there a way to adjust the tap sensitivity?

If you're right-clicking, that means you're tapping with two fingers. I'm not sure how to make this less "sensitive" other than to turn it off in the Keyboard & Mouse preferences.

Yeah, if it annoys you, turn it off and then use control and click instead as that is a harder combination to do when your resting on your trackpad or whatever.

[Kyle76]

Good idea. I'll try it with just control click.

Even with tap to click disabled you can use two fingers on the track pad then click. it will be a control click (right click)

That's the problem. The OP doesn't want to accidentally right-click while scrolling (which also uses two fingers).

Disabling right click and using control seems to be the best solution for me.

I think gsr meant that you can avoid the problem by disabling the tap-to-click

That will mean that placing two fingers on your touchpad won't register as a right click, since all clicking will have to be done with the button instead of just tapping. With that, you can still right click with 2 fingers on the touchpad.

I think this is the default, and it works well for me - no right clicking when you just want to scroll.


Kyle - you were the one asking about virtualisation on your new MBP right? How are you enjoying it?

The Fusion works well, but it's not exactly "plug and play." It has taken several days working off and on to get things set up as I want them to work. I spent a couple of hours this morning trying to get my USB printer to work in Windows, but I finally found the info I needed on the VMWare forum. Unity mode is very nice. Programs can live on the Dock and open in their own window, just like native apps. Or you can use full-screen mode where all you see is a regular Windows desktop.

Have you tried full-screen mode with spaces? Space 1 for Mac OS, Space 2 for full screen Windows Ctrl + 1/2 to switch between both
