Right-clicking on text in PDF

Calorion
When I right-click on text in a PDF (on a Mac), I expect to be able to perform operations on it like Copy, Look Up, and Search with Google (or even better, Look Up in Google Scholar or Library Lookup!). However, all that appears is the highlighting toolbar. How can I access these other functions?

    If you right-click on a selected text, a context menu with a “Copy” option should appear. Does it not open for you?

    We can also consider adding similar features to the “Look Up” and “Search” options you mentioned.

    I see the problem. I was right-clicking on text I had already highlighted. So my complaint is limited to that situation.

    Adding “Look Up” (in the system dictionary) and “Search with Google” (or the like) would be amazing.

    Even better if you also added “Find reference” or something similar.
