Question: I have a MacBook Pro with a touchpad, and the only way I can figure out how to use the right click in my remote desktop session is by plugging in a mouse. 

`Ctrl`-click (what I usually use for right click), doesn't work, as `ctrl` is used in Windows for other things. Is there an alternative?

Answer: 
**Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Keyboard Shortcuts**

* **CTRL + SHIFT + CLICK:** Right Click (OS X)
* **CTRL + ALT + END :** Opens the Microsoft Widnows NT security dialog box.
* **ALT + PAGEUP :** Switch between programs left to right.
* **ALT + PAGEDOWN :** Switch between programs right to left.
* **ALT + INSERT :** Cycle through programs in most recently used order.
* **ALT + HOME :** Display Start Menu.
* **CTRL + ALT + BREAK :** Switch the client computer between a window and full screen.
* **ALT + DELETE :** Displays the windows menu.
* **CTRL + ALT + Minus Sign (-) :** Place a snapshot of the active window in the client the terminal server, same as PRINT SCREEN on a local computer.
* **CTRL + ALT + Plus Sign (+) :** Place a snapshot of the entire window in the client the terminal server, same as PRINT SCREEN on a local computer.
I found that you can simulate the RIGHT-CLICK as follows;

use the arrow to position where you wish to right-click
then use the keyboard icon and select SHIFT and F10

When you tap the keyboard pad to disappear you hopefully will have the right-click menu you want.
