Hi Piroor,

As one would elsewhere in an operating system for files etc. with "Appplication" keys on some keyboards, is there at all the possibility for a hotkey in the options for the user to open the context menu for the current, or, selected tab?
https://ibb.co/yhvtv2n
It significantly increases efficiency for the user, whereby saving them the physical movement of the mouse cursor to the sidebar and would allow users to then henceforth press the corresponding access key.

EDIT This is probably out of scope as you'd say due to most helper addons and TST itself offering a myriad of hotkey customisation in their options. If so, I apologise and close this issue, I just thought it could be very useful universally in FF, but if you're not interested in it all, no worries :)

Thanks in advance, as always for any consideration at all.

Which is an application your screenshot is taken about? My keyboard also has the application key (I think you meant the key with an menu-like icon), but Firefox looks to handle pressed app key as pressed on the main content area. After I click a sidebar contents the event for pressed app key is notified to the sidebar contents, so the behavior you described looks to be possible to implement, but you still need to click once on the sidebar, thus it looks inconvenient...

Anyway I've introduced a change to treat pressing of the application key as "context menu on the active tab" with the commit 6a903e4.

Oh, yes, it's referred to as the Menu key. It has the functionality of Shift+F10 in windows for context menu I think?
I don't really know if it's really relevant to this though, I just used it as a reference for its context menu opening capabilities.

Oh, with the likelihood of having to click on the sidebar once for focus of sorts, perhaps I will work around that with another macro for its focus in conjunction with the opening of the menu(if possible).

Thanks for your consideration, I hope to have intrigued you somewhat.
