copying from source?

[PepeRB29]

just a quick question, when i try to copy a link from lets say facebook to show to someone i'm talking to on the internet, it never works because it restricts access. i was talking to some people who told me that i have to right click and click copy source. well since there is no right click, how would i go about doing this, or is it a feature that is not available?

hmm... i have never run into this issue...

you can't copy anything?

and there is a secondary click, btw. Go to system preferences->keyboard & mouse:

nah, i just figured it out, figures right after i finally post the question. i have to hold control then click on the picture and select copy image address

yep. if you find the ctrl+click annoying, try checking the boxes i posted above. That will allow you to secondary click by tapping the trackpad with two fingers.

much easier using the way hippo posted though. :)
