Reminds me of macOS menus. Hold down the option key and some menu items change. Like, what?

  Windows is also like that - Shift + right click presents a different context menu on Explorer icons, taskbar shortcuts, and probably in some other places.

    Windows is particularly odd, because the file explorer menus are so similar that you wouldn't see the difference if you weren't looking for it.

      It's different now with Windows 11. Regular right click brings up a new metro-style simplified menu. Shift+Righr click brings up the classic right menu with the full menu. The new menu has maybe 7 items while the old is at 20+. I believe the new system was an attempt to get rid of all the cruft that has accumulated into the right click menu over the years. Notably it does not show any actions added by third party programs or file extension handlers.

  In small defense of macos, that's been the case since 1984. Not great for new users, but it's an old paradigm
