Nathan Manceaux-PanotHaven't seen this mentioned yet: in macOS Sequoia, you can open a context menu by pressing ⌃⏎, for the current selection. Very nice—Windows has had this for ages!
Florian Pircher@Cykelero This is *the* Sequoia feature I have been the most exited about and … it does not work on my beta OS installation. Did you manage to make it work?
@florian Weird: on a fresh install in a VM, it works out of the box for me (just tested in Disk Utility)
@Cykelero Select some text, press Control and the Return key together and a menu opens?
@Cykelero Just tested in Disk Utility and it works! But not when composing a message in Mail or writing in Pages, where I tested before. Hopefully Apple expands support for this feature.
@florian Weird! I wonder what's different about these implementations.
The text view that I tried successfully was TextEdit.

Eytan Schulman@Cykelero @stroughtonsmith This and the window snapping… I guess someone at Apple made a list of “Windows features that are actually good and we should check out”
nabeards@Cykelero <squeeeee!!>
Tomek Kuźma@Cykelero do I remember correctly that windows keyboards a designated context menu key?
Jonathan Isom@Cykelero Works on iPadOS as well.
Jonathan HendryIs this different from right-clicking?
@jonhendry From what I understand, it should show the exact same menu. Just, triggered from the keyboard instead.
@Cykelero I created a keyboard shortcut in Alfred for this for a workflow I repeatedly do and had to take my hand to the mouse only for this click to happen.
Ilya@Cykelero This is awesome! Do you know if it's possible to map it to another key?
@webboggles Yes! They're adding a setting in System Settings.
They probably tried to pick a rarely-used shortcut, but couldn't completely avoid collisions; do some of your apps use ⌃⏎ already?
@Cykelero No the shortcut is unused but it would be good to bind it to a single key. I've always had it mapped to the right control key before I switched to mac. It was one of the harder shortcuts to unlearn.
I've installed the beta of Sequoia and Control+Enter is already amazing to have. I couldn't find where to change it in the settings.
@webboggles Oh, in that case, my gut says you won't be able to directly choose just control as a shortcut.
But you can probably use a third party app (keyboard maestro?) to map right control to control-enter.

@Cykelero Many thanks, couldn't map to Control but it works fine with F13. Made my day!
