Hi,
I'm using Studio 2011 on a Mac (with Parallels). Unfortunately as I have a Mac mouse, I'm not able to use the right click to get to the context menu. Double clicking or holding down the Control key while clicking doesn't work either. So I don't seem to be able to add new terms to the termbase. Any ideas what I could do?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Regards,
Irene

PC keyboard Mar 16, 2012

My PC keyboard has a special key between right control and right alt, which replaces rightclicking with a mouse. Maybe your keyboard has a similar function?

No special key Mar 16, 2012

Hi Stansilaw,
Thanks for your reply. There's no additional key between control and alt on my Mac keyboard
Usually holding down the control key while clicking on the term does the trick, but not here. I'm a bit at a loss ..
Best regards,
Irene

Solution found Mar 16, 2012

Hi,
I just found the solution: Control+Alt+Double click opens the context menu ... Maybe this information helps others as well who have the same problem.
Have a nice weekend,
Irene
