Context-sensitive menus
Illustrator provides context-sensitive menus that appear right under your cursor as
you’re working. Control+click [right-click] with a cursor anywhere in the document
window, and a context-sensitive menu appears. These menus contain commands
that relate to the type of work you’re doing and the specific tool you have. Figure 1-11
shows a context-sensitive menu that appears in a document when a rectangle shape
is created and selected. This menu would look different if some other object were
selected.
