Staff View Right-Click Context Menu Options - [SOLVED!]

Moved from another thread where my reply was 100% off topic:

. . . I just called up Staff View and right clicked in the middle of the staff. I get a context menu with 4 sections. The first has Layout, Regenerate Tablature, and Export to ASCII. The second has commands for MIDI plug-ins and quantizing, the third has the fancy processes like Deglitch and Transpose, the fourth has the Fit to commands.

What's the secret to getting features ungrayed out?  I tried right-clicking with each of the buttons in the Tools module selected, including with each (and both all and none) of the options in the "Smart" tool selected. Also, I tried audio tracks, midi tracks, and instrument tracks.  Thanks.

Not using the staff view for data entry, after a quick test it appears that with an active selection CTRL+Right Click opens the menu with those options available.

Thanks!!  I was granted access to these features by first using the Select Tool to make a selection and then CTRL + Right Clicking on the staff outside the selected area.  

ADDENDUM:

This "secret method" might help with other issues that have been raised, such as moving, transposing, arpeggiating, etc. groups of notes. So, thanks also to @Starship Krupa for pointing out the all the features in the Staff View's Content Menu.
