i'm assuming <left click> means tapping the trackpad? I am looking for a shortcut that doesn't require the trackpad or mouse at all.

SOMEBODY HAS TO KNOW A CONTEXT MENU SHORTCUT!!!! MS word is driving me nuts because everytime i have to correct something i have to use the mouse to bring up the context menu with the new spelling. Nobody knows a keyboard shortcut for this? My HP laptop has a context menu key on it that i could just press instead of moving the mouse over the word. :Shouting:

There is no equivalent of the Windows "context menu of what's currently selected" key.

If Mouse Keys is turned on in Universal Access in System Preferences, Control [Numeric Pad 5] will act as a regular right-click, i.e., it'll bring up a context menu where the mouse is.

But I doubt that's what you're looking for.

If you want a shortcut for Spelling and Grammar in Word,
it's Command Option L to bring up the window
Then use Tab to go to the 2nd list and Up/Down to select the proposed correction, then OK.

Bummer. The spelling and grammar thing does bring up spell check, but i was hoping there was a shortcut for a right click wherever the cursor is. Even when typing a search in google or something. I hate having to move the mouse over whatever I'm typing. Oh well! Thanks for the reply!
