Worth noting that the tap-and-hold is used only in very few places of the macOS shell, like the bottom launcher and Launchpad, pretty much nothing else accepts tap-and-hold for context menu, certainly not any of the regular apps. So I wouldn't say that is "the usual way" on mac at all. Just to provide some more insight for non-mac folks. Cheers -- Martin Klapetek
