You Can Right-Click on Your Keyboard in MacOS Sequoia
Until now, you couldn’t right-click on a Mac without using a mouse. That all changed with macOS Sequoia, which added a new keyboard shortcut that opens context menus (these are the menus that appear when you right-click anywhere).
Keyboard shortcut to right-click on Mac
In macOS Sequoia, you can press Control-Return on your Mac to open context menus. Discovered by Mastodon user Nathan Manso-Pano , this shortcut should work anywhere on your Mac. At the time of writing, Sequoia is in beta, which means you should avoid installing it on your main Mac, no matter how tempting it is to try out the new features.
