I just purchased a Lenovo thinkpad and I am so proud of everything in it. It feels just as rock solid as the Linux kernel :P.
The problem is that Lenovo decided to remove the context menu key that is the key that does the right click stuff. They replaced it by a print screen key. My keyboard has its numeric part with some buttons above it. There is a magnifying glass key that I would like to remap to open the context menu or be the right click key. Is it possible to do this?
I've tried searching for other related questions but I only found Q&As on how to add options to the Nautilus context menu. I want to to map a physical key of my keyboard to open this menu. Just like before. It also appears that Dell is dropping this key in their inspiron keyboard. I dont know whats going on since I use the keyboard more than mouse.
Thanks in advance.
sudo apt-get install xbindkeys
. Then in a terminal runxbindkeys -k
and type the key you want to change. Can you add the output to your question?.Xmodmap

to start with, you can as well just put your binding in an empty file. Also, look at what @Baha_hi found out below.
