Add right-click to XP on MacBook and MacBook Pro

I find Input Remapper to be loads more useful than either of the suggestions in the published hint. It makes ALL of your function modifiers work, and has greater flexibility over key use for click modifiers.

I have to agree with you InputRemapper does the job, does it great and does it easily. I haven't tried it in Parallel yet. But on a side note, if you're trying to right click while in parallel, exit the mouse capture (hit ctrl-alt) and then right click in the window (ctrl-click or double finger tap). It will bring up the contextual menu in windows. Not such a "clean" solution, but it does the job.

I just tested this and InputManager doesn't seem to work under Parallel (didn't try too hard though). AppleMouse does work though, and since fn-delete already does I just that's fine!

Right-clicking in Parallels is accomplished by Shift-Ctrl-Click rather than the usual Ctrl-Click
