Gecko supports that user can block web apps to prevent to open the context menu with Shift key. For instance, Shift+Right-Click and Shift+ContextMenu can open the context menu forcibly.

Additionally, Shift+F10 is a well-known shortcut key to open context menu.

However, this was not working as expected. The Shift state is referred unexpectedly and it always forcibly open the context menu. This bug was fixed by bug 1338369.

On the other hand, users cannot open the context menu with Shift+F10 forcibly now and Shift state is necessary for this key combination. Therefore, for a11y, we need to declare other key combination as forcibly opening the context menu.

Currently, Alt+Shift+F10 is the best candidate since DevTools use Ctrl+Shift+Foo a lot.

Do you have some better idea or know a problem of using this key combination?

I'd be happy if you'd let us know your idea.

The bug is bug 1347079:

Thanks in advance.
