Jean:

Welcome to GnuCash. I hope you find it helpful. I certainly do. Even 
though ctrl-click on macOS does not work well.

This is a known problem with gnuCash on macOS. In GnuCash 3.0 and 
higher, make a two-finger click to get the context menu.

GTK, which GnuCash uses to make its user interface, does not recognise 
ctrl+click in macOS. See FAQ /How can I get context menus on macOS?/ 
<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_How_can_I_get_context_menus_on_macOS.3F> 
. See also bug <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797286> for an 
explanation.
