JupyterLab: How to save a figure from the notebook

I'm trying the new JupyterLab and am having trouble saving figures. Using vanilla Jupyter notebooks, I can two-fingers click (using macOS, Safari or Chrome) and I get a browser menu that allows me to copy or save the figure.

In JupyterLab, this menu is replaced by notebook specific one with cell-related functions, as seen here:

Is there a way I can save a figure directly from the notebook in JupyterLab?

Following the suggestion from @Matt, I opened an issue in GitHub and got the answer: the old menu is available by holding down Shift while doing a two-fingers click on a Mac, or doing a Shift + right-click on Linux/windows
