説明

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Make alt+space or an alternative key combination access the Application context menu in a wsl console. Edit: This is a feature request for "...the original Windows console host, ...", (which I assume is where the shortcuts are implemented), not the new terminal. Edit2: In the windows console, ctrl+m activates the select/copy feature and ctrl+f the find menu (danish and english versions). These are only accessible through the "alt+space"-menu (rodent menu) in a WSL session . Adding an alternative to these in Windows Console for WSL would be a super deluxe bonus value productivity enhancement.

Pressing alt+spacebar opens this menu on common windows apps: AppContextMenu

In the good old Windows Console/Terminal, as well as most windows app you have access to the (I think it's called?) application context menu, through alt+space without using the mouse. In WSL this does not work. We've got the ctrl+shift+c/v shortcut workarounds to paste/copy. A similar shortcut workaround for alt+space would be much appreciated for those with rodent allergy.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

I have no idea how to implement it but I really would like a relief for my carpal tunnel syndrome :-)
