Hello.
The contextual menu's key is the left key (In spanish keyboard) of the Control key (His function is the same that one Right Click Mouse).
The last keyboard's row is:
Ctrl Win Alt Space AltGR Win CONTEXTUAL_MENU Ctrl

Example of bug (If you can, do it in Ubuntu and Windows for see the difference):
1.- Open Nautilus/Explorer.
2.- Restore Window
3.- Put the cursor mouse outside this last window.
4.- Navegate in Nautilus/Explorer only with keyboard.
5.- PUSH CONTEXTUAL SUBMENU'S KEY!
6.- In Nautilus the submenu that appear is the correspondent to the over the cursor mouse.
     In Windows the submenu that appear is the correspondent to the over the active item keyboard of Explorer.
(Same in Word, Start menu....)

I believe that failure is Gnome, because in Gnome menus or applications failure too -> If you have the cursor mouse in a point, and press the key, the submenu is associated over the cursor mouse, not where is the cursor keyboard (nautilus, menu gnome, gedit....).
Windows works better this feature. When you're in Explorer or Word, the submenu is relationated to the application, not the cursor mouse.

Greetings.
