Is there a ‘right click’ keyboard shortcut for the Mac spell checker?

Chris asks:

Is there a keyboard shortcut for right clicking in Mac OS X?

If not, when using the built in spell check, is there a way to drive spelling correction via the keyboard?

Also if not, is there a third party application that can give you a keyboard shortcut that allows you to right click?

If your answer is “press control while clicking the main mouse button”, you’re not paying attention.

    F7 doesn’t work on Mac? I’m not a mac user, so I wouldn’t know – but F7 is Word’s key shortcut to check spelling and grammar.

    Chris, I checked and it doesn’t seem like there is. I use Spell Catcher, which comes with all kinds of keyboard shortcuts for checking spelling. It’s not free, but once you learn how to effectively use, it can be a time saver when writing.

    If you’re not a Mac user than why in F7 would you even respond to this — you don’t KNOW!
