How would I go about including Ctrl+Click as a right-click? (Java)

Question

I have an option to right-click. But users that need to use Ctrl + Click cannot use right-click because Java only allows for the right-click button to be hit.

Does anyone know how I can allow for Ctrl + Click, as well as the right-click button?

Thanks!

I currently use something like InputButton == InputEvent 3 or something. IDK I can't remember, hold on a sec. — Dylan Wheeler, Sep 01 '11 at 00:37

I'm assuming that you want to support users on Macs with one button mice. Here's another question that addressed this issue: How to detect right-click event for Mac OS

Check out the answer that wasn't accepted as that appears to be the best solution. Long story short, you want to use SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton(event).
