Hi Juri:

Maybe I miss explained myself. The idea to put it in [S-f6] is to make
the context menu work with the [menu] button out of the box when
available in urxvt (and on xterm if fixed).

Of course S-<f10> works as expected. The point is that the menu key is
the "right place" for it to make it more "similar" to other applications
around. And such key is "under-utilized" by us at the moment. (Nobody
even noticed it wrongly bound in xterm)

Also because S-<f10> is menu-bar-open, that may be useful for some
people, but S-<f6> is unused. SO as you say: it is a win win ;).
