Bug Description
Binary package hint: synaptic
The context menu key (between AltGr and Right Ctrl on most modern keyboards) should, when an item in a list has focus, bring up the same context menu that right-clicking on that item does. Per the Gnome HIG, Shift+F10 should have the same effect (for those with keyboard that do not have a menu key). Neither of these keys has any effect in Synaptic.
Expected behavior: when a package is highlighted, pressing the menu key or shift+F10 should bring up the package context menu.
Workaround: most of the items in the context menu are available in the Package main menu, accessible with Alt+P.
Synaptic version: 0.61ubuntu9, in Hardy.
