Right click, with the experimental context menu setting enabled. |

pretty sure you can bind that action to a key too. |

The Menu key is also bound to this by default. It is the key on a standard US-104 key keyboard that looks like this: 
(or like this:)

Thanks. I was using SendInput() earlier and saw it for the first time (and I hadn't specifically enabled anything). I don't think I have such a key on my ~30 year-old keyboard (Gateway2000 "Anykey"). Do you know if it has its own VK code or if it can be simulated with another key plus modifiers? |

Yeah, 0x6D = 93. I saw it because I had sent that (down/up) with SendInput and I can do that at will. But I can't find a way to synthesize it with keystrokes. Win-Shift-F10 works in other places (desktop, Firefox, editor) but not in WT. As I said, I haven't specifically enabled anything. I'm using WindowsTerminal 1.23.2506.24002 (preview) (1.23.1752.0) |

You cannot synthesize it with keystrokes which are not FWIW, If you want Win+Shift+F10 to open the context menu in Windows Terminal, bind Win+Shift+F10 to open the context menu like any other key binding in the Windows Terminal settings. |
|
Yeah, I meant 0x5D. I thought Win+Shift+F10 was system-wide. |
|
It's not. There is no generic API facility for the OS to tell an application to open a contextual context menu. |
Where, how? What's that action's id? |
Right click, with the experimental context menu setting enabled.
