how can i catch right mouse click on a component? i can do onClick() but how do i get the right click?

Modifier.onClick(
    matcher = PointerMatcher.mouse(PointerButton.Secondary)
) {
                    
}

This is not a correct logic for macOS (and probably some Linux flavors as well), as that OS allows you to Ctrl+Left Click to bring up the popup menu. You can dive a bit deeper into AWT with awaitPointerEventScope { awaitPointerEvent() }.awtEventOrNull and then check awtEvent?.isPopupTrigger == true

We have Modifier.contextMenuOpenDetector, but right now it only detects right-clicks. We should add ctrl-click on macOS to it probably.

Oh, it turns out we already report ctrl-click as “secondary mouse button click” on Mac OS X. So you can already use Modifier.contextMenuOpenDetector and it will work.
