Description Jerome Haltom 2004-03-08 19:43:31 UTC 
In windows, on an extended keyboard, there is a key next to the right side
Ctrl key, which looks like a menu. This should pop up the context menu on
the selected icon, or at least be associatable to this.

Probably not Nautilus-specific.

In Nautilus, you can get the context menu from the keyboard: it's shift-F10,
like any other program.

This bug is probably a Gtk+ (configuration?) thing, and should read something
like: "Windows menu key should pop up context menu (like shift-F10)".

possible patch

the issue is specific to nautilus icon view, since it doesn't implements the
GtkWidget popup_menu handler but tries to mimick it by intercepting key
presses...

This patch at the moment is totally untestes for lack of a full jhbuild :(
