> The only way to shutdown the integrated screen and still have the camera usable is to duplicate the screen and diminish brightness to zero. Or use a magnet. Seriously?

Can you describe what your use case for this is, because this complaint sounds truly bizarre to me. You want to use the webcam at the top of the laptop display, while not using the laptop display itself, but using a separate display (and thus presumably not looking anywhere near the webcam)? Are you pointing the webcam at something other than yourself?

What do you mean by contextual keyboard?

The first-party Terminal provides that feature, too. But the rest of the OS doesn't natively.

Well, I use the webcam for visio calls. So I'm not completely facing the camera usually, indeed.

I meant contextual menu. The only way to open in it in a Mac arms seems to be to use the secondary mouse button.

My bad for the paste in the terminal. I moved to an other terminal for an other reason I can't remember right now. But yeah it is the middle click in general that I miss. To be fair, Windows doesn't provide it either.
