two-finger tap

Right-click alternative method

A two-finger tap is a touchscreen or trackpad gesture where two fingers touch the surface simultaneously and lift.

On most devices, it functions like a right-click, opening contextual menus: Two-finger tap to see more options.

The gesture is standard on laptops and tablets, distinct from a two-finger scroll or pinch.
