I feel like I’ve asked this before, but I’m not finding a satisfactory answer… is there some standard for opening context menu in a text editor via keyboard shortcut? Or if not is there a good reason why not?
I’m adding a right-click context menu to Bike. There are a number of commands in that context menu that I would like to access without the mouse. In particular “Look Up” and “Open Link”. TextEdit (and most any text view) has the same shortcuts… but I don’t see anyway to access those commands without using the mouse in other apps.
On approach is that I could add main menu items for those commands, but I’m not sure they are useful enough to add dedicated menu items for. I would rather just be able to pop up the context menu and then use arrow keys to select command from there.
Anyone know if this is already a thing, or why it isn’t?
