$event->button.  And if you want Shift/Alt/etc keys then $event->state.

$menu->popup.

I use the following in my treeview (I update some stuff based on the
item under the mouse from $treeview->get_path_at_pos too).


$treeview->signal_connect (button_press_event => \&_do_menu_popup);

sub _do_menu_popup {
  my ($treeview, $event) = @_;
  if ($event->button != 3) {  # ignore other than button3
    return 0;  # propagate event
  }

  ...
  my ($path, $col, $cell_x, $cell_y)
    = $treeview->get_path_at_pos ($event->x, $event->y);
  ...

  $menu->popup (undef, undef, undef, undef, $event->button, $event->time);
  return 0; # propagate event
}
