Click-and-hold for context menu?

One thing I really like in BeOS on a Mac is being able to call up context menus by just holding down the mouse button.

Was any driver/extension/control panel that could do this in Mac OS?

FinderPop can probably do it. I know you can at least set it to load a "Contents" contextual menu with click-and-hold, and I think you can also set it to bring up the regular menu with the same behavior. I mostly use System 7 and not OS 8/9 these days, so I'm not 100%.

Also, if you like BeOS's contextual menus, you'll probably also like the "Contents" contextual submenu FinderPop offers, which is pretty much identical to the contextual drilldown feature in BeOS.

Yep that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
