I know I can press e to toggle from draw mask to erase mask, but can’t figure out the way to get to the context menu with draw, erase and other options. When I press option key and the brush icon, it gets me add tool, remove tool context menu.

  Which things would you like to get to? There are default shortcuts as follows.
  
  B - brush
  E - erase
  G - gradient
  T - radial mask
  
  also
  
  M - toggles mask visibility on and off
  Alt - M - grayscale mask.
  
  That's a shortcut for pretty much everything in the brush options.
  
  And on the brush icon in the layer tool or on the toolbar, you can press and hold to see the menu.

  Thank you, Ian. Now, I feel like an idiot for not being able to figure out just holding down on the brush icon was what it took. I had tried to press every combination of keyboard shortcuts with it as the Windows version is supposedly to hold down the mouse left button with ALT key.
