Cannot open tab's context menu (e.g. go to next diff) with keyboard

Testing #7854

I tried moving focus to a tab and pressing shift-f10.

You need to listen for Shift+F10 and bring up the context menu (e.g. tree widget also does it.)

@alexandrudima works for me when using "on screen keyboard" pressing the context menu key:

I do not know about Shift+F10.

All I have is a context menu event handler on the DIV that is the tab, so I am not sure what else I need to do.

Actually Shift+F10 also works for me, just tried.

@bpasero The context menu key works for me too. Under Windows, I think it is expected that Shift+F10 also opens the context menu. Maybe for keyboards without a context menu key?

AFAIK that needs a manual listener. i.e.:

{ "key": "shift+f10",             "command": "editor.action.showContextMenu",
                                     "when": "editorTextFocus" },

@alexandrudima for me it just works, when I press Shift+F10 on a tab that has focus (with blue outline) I get the menu. Weird that you are not?

Even on my thinkpad without VM and without the context menu key.

Yeah, I don't get it, I just tried dev, in case I missed a commit. I don't get contextmenu on Win10. Maybe we can ask @dbaeumer to try.

@dbaeumer If you focus your way to a tab title, does shift-f10 show the contextmenu for you?

[dbaeumer]

Yes it does

[alexdima]

@bpasero I can show on my machine
