Accessing the RMB feature on a Mac laptop Please note: I realize this question is very similar to this one but I assert that it is not a dupe because it involves specific a hardware/OS combo! More importantly, this question is really about Mac laptop usage of a particular Blender feature, not necessarily about closing the default cube.

If you downvote or closevote this as a dupe, I at least ask that you add a comment that might help steer me in the right direction! But if you can't think of anything that would help me, then clearly this is a new aspect of an existing question, and I argue that this is grounds for this question being legitimate and not a dupe!!!



I am trying to get "the default cube" to go away on startup. Yes, I realize that once I remove it, that I can just update my default settings by entering Ctrl+U. That's not what I'm asking here.

In the answer to the question I linked above, the user stated that to remove the cube, select it by using the RMB (Right Mouse Button), then clicking X.

But on a Mac laptop, I have no right mouse button (RMB). All I have is a mouse pad. When I select the cube by clicking on it, all of the following have the same effect:


Clicking the cube on the left-side of the mouse pad
Clicking the cube on the right-side of the mouse pad
Hitting the Control button, and then clicking on the mouse pad
Hitting the Command button, and then clicking on the mouse pad


In all 4 of these scenarios, once I make the click on the mouse pad, and then hit X, I see the following screen:



When I select the Delete option, nothing happens. Where am I going awry?!?

Update:

I am in "Object Mode", but I noticed that when I click the cube it does not seem to be actually selected. That is, the cube does not have a thin orange border surrounding it. I think this is an important clue.
Yeah, it must be selected.

To select it with no RMB, you must change your user settings.



Now go to the "Input" tab and change to LEFT for select
