Keyboard-only opening of the toolbar menu

[eugenesvk]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd like to have a quick access to the selection of options of the toolbar button without using a mouse

Describe the solution you'd like
A new shortcut that would open the context menu instead of launching the default operation

Describe alternatives you've considered (optional)
Activate a general page context menu via a button, but that one is more busy and also doesn't support accelerator shortcuts

Additional context (optional)
N/a

Unfortunately, this feature is technically impossible to implement in an extension because there is no API for associating a keyboard shortcut with the context menu or its entries.

That's unfortunate. Would it be possible to at least expose more commands to the Extension shortcuts (there are 3 currently: activate, save all tabs, save selected)

For example, I like your extensions selection helper, use it the most, and thus would love to be able to launch it to force ask for selection (even if something is already selected for other purposes, I mentally prefer to "prepare to save, select something to save" rather than the other way around) and save it instead of saving whatever is preselected or the whole tab.

The workflow you described should be possible with SingleFile today by enabling the option Annotation editor > annotate the page before saving and selecting Annotation editor > default mode > remove elements.

[eugenesvk]

That's different - (minor) it opens a new page, but also I don't need to remove the selected elements, I need to save them

[gildas-lormeau]

Would Annotation editor > default mode > remove external elements work for you instead?

Thanks, this is closer, but I'll use an even better approach of fewer clicks by using the &accelerators to invoke the save selection action fully with a keyboard and then I'd only need a a single mouse click in the same tab (also the annotation seems to add a delay to preload the page before going into a selection mode, another minor downside, though it's more powerful)
