Macs handle 2-button mice just fine.

The ctrl + click is a standard command, don't reinvent a new one. If you want to ignore a well established standard interface in favor of an app specific hack, fine, but don't imagine you are doing good user interface design.

And if you are only popping up a menu, that's already coded for in NSView. Simply connect the menu outlet in Interface Builder or call setMenu: programatically. If your menu is sensitive to the location of the mouse event in the view, implement - (NSMenu *)menuForEvent:(NSEvent *)theEvent in your view subclass.

I would like to handle the menu pop-up with a right-click, but Macs don't come with 2-button mice. And since I like to cater to the lowest common denominator when it comes to the end user, asking someone to hit Control while clicking is one step too many. I might just allow the single click to select, and then see what I can do from there.
