Højreklik

Højreklik is the Danish term for the action of clicking the right mouse button. This action typically elicits a context menu, which displays a list of commands relevant to the object or area that was clicked. The specific options available in the context menu vary depending on the operating system, the application being used, and the type of item being right-clicked.

For example, when right-clicking a file or folder in a graphical user interface, the context menu might offer options such as "Open," "Copy," "Paste," "Delete," "Rename," or "Properties." In a web browser, right-clicking an image might provide options to "Save image as," "Copy image address," or "Open image in new tab." Right-clicking text could offer "Copy," "Paste," or "Find."

The right mouse button serves as a shortcut to access these context-sensitive commands, streamlining user interaction with the computer. This functionality is a fundamental aspect of modern graphical user interfaces and is present across most operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Learning to effectively use right-click menus can significantly improve a user's efficiency and productivity when navigating and interacting with digital content. The term "højreklik" is widely understood by Danish speakers who use computers.
