Bug 30619 – [Linux] Menu key doesn't work

• Component: WebKit Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Kinuko Yasuda]

The menu key (this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menu_key) doesn't work 
in Linux. Shift+F10 also doesn't. Both should emulate right click.

* If focus is in a text field, it should be the same as right clicking where 
the text cursor is (this currently DOES work in the omnibox, but not other 
text fields)

* If focus is on another element (like a link) it should bring up the 
context menu for that next to it.

* If text is selected, Firefox brings up the context menu for that text in 
the upper right hand corner of the page, but I think it would be better for 
it to appear next to the selected text. But that might be hard.

* If focus is not on anything else, it should bring up the page's context 
menu in the upper left hand corner of the page

The change looks good to me, but I'm not a WebKit reviewer so I can't give you an official review.

It would be nice if we could have tests for this.

[Tony Chang]

You might be able to add a layout test for this by extending eventSender.keyDown() to know about the menu key.  Note that this still wouldn't show up in a pixel test result because context menus are a different window, so perhaps it's not worth the effort.

We could definitely have a manual-test for this.  WebCore/manual-tests/

Otherwise this looks fine.

Would be nice if we can update WebCore/platform/gtk/KeyEventGtk.cpp as well.

Hi, I added a manual test and also updated platform/gtk/KeyEventGtk.cpp.  In this patch I haven't extended eventSender.keyDown() for now.

Would be nice to mention that there's a manual test for this.

Regardles, LGTM. r=me.

Thanks for reviewing! I'm updating the ChangeLog in the following patch. Could you review it one more time? (Hope it'll be the last one.) Thanks,
