keyboard - Bind a key to the 'contextmenu' key - Ask Ubuntu


on full sized pc keyboards there context menu key. see photo below.

enter image description here

my new laptop doesn't have 1 of these keys, use time. context menu shows context menu of selected item, not item underneath mouse pointer.

my question is, how can re-map key combination (preferably ctrl + prtsc) perform same operation?

on system, have context menu key.

in terminal, when run xev, should present default on system well, see output (in part):

keypress event, serial 48, synthetic no, window 0x2000001,       root 0x96, subw 0x0, time 12548175, (334,-138), root:(588,185),       state 0x0, keycode 135 (keysym 0xff67, menu), same_screen yes,       xlookupstring gives 0 bytes:        xmblookupstring gives 0 bytes:        xfilterevent returns: false  keyrelease event, serial 48, synthetic no, window 0x2000001,       root 0x96, subw 0x0, time 12548242, (334,-138), root:(588,185),       state 0x0, keycode 135 (keysym 0xff67, menu), same_screen yes,       xlookupstring gives 0 bytes:        xfilterevent returns: false

if want know more xev, maybe informative: weekend project: configure keyboard submission

i suggest try bind convenient spare keyboard shortcut "menu" using whichever method distro provides , see if works cases know or expect right-click effect isn't same pressing on menu key.
