A 'ripple insert' by turning a frame into a short (still) clip?

I am a non-expert very much so, I use this about once every three years. I have a project with a number of clips. One of these is a clip of a presentation (so mostly unchanging, sometimes a change). Where a part is too long, it is easy to make two cuts and do a ripple delete. But what is the easiest way to do the opposite. Take a frame of a clip and 'lengthen it' (so a sort of 'ripple insert' based on a single frame)?

Hover over the edge of your clip, press ctrl on the keyboard, the red pointer should be turned into yellow, click and drag the edge of your clip to make it longer (while still holding ctrl).

I could not get that to work. I am running Premiere Pro on macOS. I do not get that Ctrl-action, but I do have a "Ripple edit tool" which turns the <-] or [-> pointer yellow. I tried dragging the yellow <-] pointer to the right, but this did not extend the left clip it just appended more beyond the cut.

What did work was:

Use the razor tool to cut the clip
Move the right clip to the right (creating a gap)
Move the right edge of the left clip with the <-] pointer to attach to the right clip.

This extended the left clip based on a continuation of its last frame.

If there is a single action after the razor instead of two I would be obliged, but this works

I have to retract the above. It did not work a second time and I do not know why. I create the gap, but when I drag the <-] (either yellow or red) I just get more from the original clip and not a still extension of the last frame.

Help?
