Description
There are several special keys defined in the specification; however, the “Context Menu” key — which allows opening a context menu without using a mouse — is missing.
https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver/#keyboard-actions
The absence of this key makes it impossible to fully test keyboard navigation in tools like Selenium, especially when an application includes elements that require right-click interaction.
Some users have disabilities that prevent them from using a mouse, so I'd say it's important to support testing accessibility features through keyboard-only navigation
