But that's not what he said. He said he was only clicking the left
button and holding it down to select the proper option. That's not
right-clicking.

If you press and hold the right mouse button, the context (popup) menu will open. You can then move the mouse pointer without releasing the button, and if you pass over a submenu it will open while the mouse pointer is over it. You can navigate the menus in this way, still holding the right button, until the mouse pointer reaches the menuitem which you want to trigger. Then you release the mouse button. This has always worked as far back as I can remember, maybe even on Netscape 4.72.

Similarly with the left button if you start on the menubar.

Of course, if you have configured your mouse for left-handed use, the left button becomes the right button and vice-versa.

An alternative way of navigating the menus consists of doing a click-and-release at each level going down, until you reach a menuitem which is not a submenu: then that one gets triggered.

On modern mice of the "wheel" type, pressing the wheel without rolling it actuates the middle button.


Best regards,
