Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 54969
Context menu doesn't appear
Last modified: 2006-06-15 15:17:17 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
reassign to me
<quote> Googling I've found two alternatives: SHIFT+"context menu key" SHIFT+F10 </quote> 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?
incidentally this was fixed as issue 65578 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 65578 ***
