On a Chromebook, right-clicking can be done using either the touchpad or an external mouse. Here's how to right-click using both methods:

### Using the Touchpad:

1. **Single-Finger Tap**: Place one finger on the touchpad and tap once with another finger. This action simulates a right-click.

2. **Two-Finger Tap**: Alternatively, you can place two fingers on the touchpad and tap once to perform a right-click.

3. **Press-and-Hold**: Press and hold one finger on the touchpad for a few seconds until a right-click menu appears.

### Using an External Mouse:

1. **Right Mouse Button**: If you're using an external mouse with a right-click button, simply click the right button to perform a right-click.

2. **Two-Finger Click**: Some Chromebooks support two-finger clicking on the touchpad of an external mouse to perform a right-click. Place two fingers on the touchpad and click the touchpad with both fingers simultaneously.

3. **Ctrl + Click**: You can also simulate a right-click by holding down the Ctrl key on the keyboard while clicking the touchpad or left-click button on an external mouse.

4. **Alt + Click**: Another keyboard shortcut to perform a right-click is to hold down the Alt key while clicking the touchpad or left-click button on an external mouse.
