When connecting to a remote Windows 7 OS from Mac OS X 10.8.5 with Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.24091, I'm not able to simulate a right-click with the Apple magic mouse.  

On an older version Microsoft Remote Desktop Client version 2.1.1, I can hold down shift+ctl on the Mac and click the magic mouse to simulate a right-click in Windows.  With this new version RDP 8.0, I can't find any way to simulate a right-click, other than to select "Swap mouse buttons" under settings, and then every click is a right-click and then I'm no longer able to left-click (which is even worse).  I've tried several key combinations and nothing seems to work.  Am I missing something simple here with the new RDP 8.0 application, or is the right-click simulation not (yet) functional?  

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

2 finger click or tap.

I have 10.6 (snow leopard) and an old macbook that doesn't recognize the 2-finger click/tap you mention. Any tips?

Nevermind. There's a box to check in OSX trackpad settings to enable the 2-finger+click option.

To better answer the larger question though, while the documentation and flexibility of settings on this app are quite limited (no keyboard mapping, etc, as some RDP clients have), the MS docs on it are here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn473006.aspx

In order to make use of the right-click inside an open session you have three options:

• Standard PC two button USB mouse
• Apple Magic Mouse: To enable right-click, clickSystem Preferences in the dock, click Mouse, and then enable Secondary click.
• Apple Magic Trackpad or MacBook Trackpad: To enable right-click, click System Preferences in the dock, click Mouse, and then enable Secondary click.

Wow, useful solution! When you use both OSX and Win this is the most uncomfortable solution. You need to switch continuously on and off.

Much better the VMWare Fusion approach that works with a simple Ctrl+Click.
