Are you saying that if I map the left mouse button to be the right one
and click on it, I will not get that signal?

As far as the user code is concerned, the button I press to get the
context menu shouldn't matter, because this a low-level signal.
All the user code should be aware is - did I click the action button
or context menu one. Why do I need to care which is which?

Could you give me a scenario?

Thank you.
