Is it possible to bind a key (e.g. context/menu key) as right click in KDE plasma on wayland ?

You'll need to bind a hotkey to a third-party tool such as ydotool.

Eg using ydotool, the command would be ydotool click 0xC1

I use KDE plasma 6 with Wayland and the context/menu key work as a right click. 🤔

Do you have any details to add!

I realized it works in most programs, however it doesn't in xwayland

And it's precisely those xwayland programs (IntelliJ and Android Studio) that I would use this key most times

Not Op, just want to chime in that sadly these days a lot of keyboards and laptops come without the context-menu button.

There were even some Logitech keyboard that would use the "context menu" button to trigger a right-click (where the mouse cursor was) instead of opening the context menu (of the currently focused item)

(Shift+F10 works as context-menu on some windows computers, but not all. Not sure if it comes down to Windows versions or different hardware)
