I have been experimenting with this for better keyboard accessibility. I'd suggest allowing the use of
ImGuiKey_Menufor this since that is the exact reason this key exists.This issue was also was discussed in #8803 and it was mentioned that the windows convention for this is Shift + F10. I also implemented it as an alternative for keyboards that don't have
ImGuiKey_Menu.I'm not familiar enough with ImGui internals to know if this causes any issues so consider this mostly a draft to discuss potential issues or a better implementation
Most content in the demo window works with these changes, but there are a couple of issues still open:
imgui/imgui_demo.cpp
Lines 5412 to 5413 in ba84d2d
BeginPopupContextWindowopens the context menu near the mouse cursor rather than next to the nav cursor, this is not an issue but just an annoyance. One such example is the asset browserimgui/imgui_demo.cpp
Lines 10996 to 10998 in ba84d2d
