Description Danila Ikryannikov 2021-09-10 08:43:03 UTC 
Description:
Why it's wrong: The <RCtrl> + <Menu> combination can be used in Linux to switch to a second keyboard layout.
Expected Behavior: <Menu> opens a context menu, <RCtrl> + <Menu> (if configured) selects an alternate keyboard layout.
Actual behavior: <Menu> opens a context menu, <RCtrl> + <Menu> (if configured) selects an alternate keyboard layout AND the application opens a context menu. 

Steps to Reproduce:
press <RCtrl> + <Menu> while editing a document or table (to switch to the second keyboard layout)

Actual Results:
a context menu appeared 

Expected Results:
a context menu does not open 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

This depends much on the desktop environment and configuration. KDE's default shortcut to switch to the next keyboard layout is ctrl+alt+K. Meaning we cannot guarantee that shortcuts work in all environments. 

Looking into the code it seems we handle KEY_MENU / KEY_CONTEXTMENU but not in combination with other keys. Don't see how we can solve the problem.

I think it would be reasonable to open the context menu in reaction on <Menu> only if modifiers are not pressed (in Firefox <Menu> triggers the context menu only alone or with Shift but not with Ctrl nor Alt, although e.g. KDE's KWrite triggers it always).
