Keyboard shortcut for opening context menu?

There we are, now I'm back at the laptop where I sat yesterday, and it
simply doesn't have that key on the keyboard... Having a closer look
at bugs.kde.org only now, I found a number of more or less related
reports for this:
https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=context+menu+shortcut

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109880 seems to be the closest to
my problem (even though the workaround described there unfortunately
doesn't work for me).

Talking about bugs.kde.org, I somehow can't resist linking to #5 of
the top-voted feature requests:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86423#c7

(And if this was an HTML email read with an MUA that supported
standard RFC multi-part, such as kmail, then you'd e.g. nicely see the
title of the bug ready to click on, instead of the cryptic link
itself...)
