Press Control-Return in Sequoia to Open Contextual Menus

Those who prefer keeping their hands on the keyboard may appreciate Apple’s addition of a new shortcut in macOS 15 Sequoia. Instead of Control-clicking to open a contextual menu with commands to apply to the current selection, you can press Control-Return. Since it’s so new, it doesn’t work in some older apps or those that sidestep standard Apple frameworks, but it’s worth adding to your keyboard repertoire.

Social Media: macOS 15 Sequoia has a new way you can keep your hands on the keyboard. Press Control-Return to open contextual menus—no mouse required. Try it out and speed up your workflow on your Mac.

  • My sister and her partner are coming to visit this week so I hope the sun comes out. It has been sort of cool and rainy here for this week. It is hard to believe that we are already in the middle of January and the Iowa caucuses are only a couple of weeks away.

    I know you will join me in congratulating (or consoling) Emily for her most recent promotion. A frequent contributor to Kibbles & Bytes, Emily has done just about every job at Small Dog, starting out in the shipping department way back when, when the computers were heavy. Emily is now the General Manager of Small Dog Electronics to reflect her pivotal role at the company.

    Thank you for reading this issue of Kibbles & Bytes and for all of the support for Small Dog Electronics. We know it is you, our loyal customers, that sustain us and we appreciate you!
