I used to be able to hold down the control key while tapping the trackpad on my PowerBook to get the equivalent of a right click - e.g.: context menus in Firefox and Finder. Holding down my new control key (the key formerly known as caps lock) and tapping the trackpad doesn't work. Curiously, holding the key down and pressing the trackpad button does work though.

Easier than trying to retrain my finger to look for the control key in the "wrong" place. (btw, I just downloaded your Emacs Poker; thanks! What a coincidence–I did the same thing earlier tonight.
