--- Comment #10 from Oded Arbel <o...@geek.co.il> ---
I don't think offering a lot of configuration options here make sense, as the
handling of the "Menu" key is pretty low level toolkit stuff and doing
something KDE specific (or more likely - Qt specific) will not work well across
applications from different toolkits and/or will cause Wayland/X11 mismatch
and/or will be really hard to implement and support.

The original request of having an alternative keyboard shortcut for the "Menu"
key is legitimate and is currently supported on some toolkits (notably GTK and
Windows) using the SHIFT+F10 unconfigurable shortcut (as mentioned in comment
6) - though Qt does not seem to support this, at least on my current setup
using latest Qt 5 from KDE, even using Qt-only applications (though it should
work, as can be implied from this discussion:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-67086).

I think this ticket should be focused on supporting SHIFT-F10 as an alternative
to the Menu key for triggering the context menu - as it does on GTK (e.g.
https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/treeview-tutorial.html#context-menus-on-right-click),
and though it will likely require some work in specific applications (e.g. in
GTK they had to add specific support in nautilus -
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/2091 - and others), that can
be tackled one at a time - after initial support in Qt key processing is done.
