The usual "context menu" key that is between the right Windows key and the control key on all 104-key "Windows" keyboards (the 7th key from the bottom-left on the picture):

I've got a Logitech Cordless Wave keyboard. The right modifier keys are: Alt, "Fn", and Control. No right Windows key and the Fn key does nothing in thunar.

Fn keys generally don't reach X11 - they are filtered at kbd level.

You can reroute e.g. Alt+Space:

keycode 64 = Menu

put the above into a file, run xmodmap with it.

hth,

Um, just so we're clear: I'm talking about thunar's icon view context menu; not the window manager's (which is mapped to Alt+Space by default).

I should have known that you would need Alt+Space.
In this case, reroute it to e.g. Shift+Space:

keycode  65 = space Menu

hth,
