Description of the new feature/enhancement

Add a command and key binding for opening the menu.

There are many key shortcuts for open new tabs or switching tabs. For some reason there is no shortcut to simply open the menu. Often I don't know what entries are there or in which order (because I don't use it very often). Then open the menu would be very helpful.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Maybe use "Context Menu" key (the one that usually between right Win key and right Ctrl key). It probably has no use in terminal applications anyway.
