** Description changed:

  If I run 'xdotool click 3' as a keyboard shortcut (in Xfce at least) it
  does not work as a right button click unless I add short delay by sleep
  command in a script before running xdotool:
  
  sleep 0.2
  xdotool click 3
  
  Supposedly it works even better, if I release the shortcut keybinding
  before the other command:
  
  xdotool keyup super+Space
  xdotool click 3
  (if the key-binding is super+Space)
  
  These could even be combined in single xdotool command:
  
  xdotool sleep 0.2 click 3
  
  and
  
  xdotool keyup super+Space click 3
  (if the key-binding is super+Space)
  
  I think it would fix this, if the shortcut manager could handle the
  keyup part.
