SwiftUI context menu trigger by left click on macOS

Question

I have a gear button on my view, when user click it I want to show a menu of buttons. It seems the https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/contextmenu(menuitems:) is designed for this task but only right click can trigger the context menu.

How can I trigger the contextMenu by left-click on macOS? Thanks!

Use Menu instead of contextMenu. Here is an example stackoverflow.com/a/63933231/12299030. — Asperi

@Asperi Thanks for your comment. I already tried the Menu but the hit area of the Menu is a bar and I want to trigger the menu only by clicking the gear icon itself. — Zieng

You can use a specific menu style for that type of UI. If you want to hide the indicator, just put in false.

Menu("Label") {
      Button("Buttons") { }
}
.menuStyle(BorderlessButtonMenuStyle())
.menuIndicator(.hidden)
.fixedSize() // Otherwise will be the width of your menu options.
