I'm running Ubuntu on a Macbook Pro. How do you right-click using the keyboard in this setup? I've read that holding down the command key simulates pressing the "context menu" button on a Windows machine, but this behavior doesn't seem to be present in Ubuntu. I also don't see any way to configure this in Ubuntu's keyboard shortcut preferences dialog. Is there anyway else to do it?

I Would Suggest that you Try the Option Key (Alt key in Windows) which is next to the Ctrl key.

What do you mean by "Try the Option Key"? If you mean press that key, yes, I've tried all the keys, and none appear to be configured to trigger the context menu by default. Is there a way to configure this in Ubuntu? – Chris S Dec 4 '10 at 17:27
I think he meant try left-clicking while holding down the ALT... – funk-shun Apr 7 '11 at 20:31

Shift + F10

I really want to but I don't know how to customize this. Perhaps with xbindkeys?
