RE: indicating a context menu

Hi Steve,

context menu: Shift+F10
popup (menu): Alt + Arrow Down 

and your question is what to use when?

This seems to be not so clear for spec says

"aria-haspopup (property): Indicates that the element has a popup context menu or sub-level menu"

So the clash is that we have (in case of link elements) contradicting keyboard specs for invoking context menu, right?

Regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

it being on a link is not the issue, what is is that there is no clear
way to indicate that there is a context menu available as a against a
popup menu each of which have different keyboard interactions
associated with them.

best regards
steve
