Default Make use of the Menu key

Would it be possible to make the Menu key (the one next to the right Win key) bring up the right-click context menu, in particular after selecting a media item? I often select them via Left/Right. Anyone else need this?

What keyboard is that?

Never heard of a menu key. Next to all windows keyboards I've ever seen is Right Alt

Menu key is found next to the right Win key, if the keyboard has one. That was some years back, now keyboards usually have a Funtion button instead of a second Win key. Example of keyboard with two Win keys and Menu key:

Shouldn't the Menu key already be doing that? It normally just acts as another right-click button.

Yes, normally it does, but not in Reaper. At least not everywhere. Works on selected tracks, not on unselected tracks, not on empty TCP, not in arrange, not on tabs, not on toolbar buttons, not on ruler, not on transport, spectacularly broken in media explorer (shows in top right of the monitor always), the list goes on...

It definitely should! For some reason it doesn't, as EvilDragon said.

PS. That's Guybrush Threepwood on your avatar! Yeah, those were the days...
