That's interesting :) I understand that this is the case on all Mac
models (and only on Mac). Right-now we're already relying on right-click
in our documentation for a few things, so it would be good to be more
aware of how problematic this is for the future:

https://tails.boum.org/install/download/openpgp#mac

I'll see if I get a chance to see how problematic right-click is for Mac
users when we'll work on a UI for "Additional software packages".
