I've been looking for a way to use a hotkey shortcut for accessing the right-click contextual menu, but haven't been able to find any solutions. I am using Mac os x 10.8.
That's right, thanks I forgot the name of the key. However, it is always used in the form of a keyboard shortcut, meaning the Fn (or sometimes control, shift, etc.)key and the menu / Application key are used together. The mac is similar in the way it uses the Fn key, but only when the keyboard config is set to use the F keys as standard function found in system settings -> keyboard.
