autohotkey ctrl+click = right click

Question

What would be the code to turn a control+click to a right click?

I'm running windows 7 on a mac and would like to control click on the track pad rather than doing a two finger click.

Try this. This works more similarly to the native right click than Juhzuri's solution -- the context menu comes up near the cursor; it works with controls that don't respect the Windows menu key (AppsKey); and it allows dragging.

^LButton::
  Send {RButton Down}
  Return

^LButton Up::
  Send {RButton Up}
  Return

The following does it for me.

^LButton::AppsKey

I would suggest that you start with the following-

This version doesn't work for me; if I control-click on the desktop, for example, the context menu comes up in the upper left of the screen. With @echristopherson's version, the context menu comes up where I click. – Patrick Beard Jun 01 '19 at 18:43
