Description njsg 2005-09-22 15:23:17 UTC 
When I use the "context menu" key (the key between the "Windows Logo" key and
CTRL), OpenOffice.org highlights the menu bar (as if I had clicked ALT) instead
of opening the context menu.

SO: Fedora Core 3 (Heidelberg) GNU/Linux

I've tried this with OpenOffice.org for Windows and it opened the context menu.

TM->PL:Please have a look. I don´t exactly know, if this feature will work on
Linux too. Thanks !

I've upgraded to 2.0.0 stable. Stills not working.

Does not work for me neither.


I wanted to use the "context menu" key of my keyboad to show me the
context menu, where the cursor is, in OpenOffice, but it just does not
work as expected (on other kde apps and Mozilla it works corretly)
because it has the same behaviour like the "ALT" key (selects the "File"
menu).

Googling I've found two alternatives:
SHIFT+"context menu key"
SHIFT+F10
But it feels weird having to use "SHIFT+context menu key", when the key is
specially made for doing that action alone.

I'm using: gnu/linux/debian/unstable/kde3.4 with kernel 2.6.14-2-k7.

Kind regards, Sebastià.

confirm. The question however is whether there is any "standard" X keysym for
that key
Comment 5 philipp.lohmann 2006-01-16 17:49:00 UTC 
reassign to me

I didn't know this. Thank you very much -- it will make my life easier. But it
stills being annoying. Why need I to use this ``secret trick'' ir order to open
the context menu when I can do the same thing on other applications using the
"context menu" key?
