Excuse the arbitrary percentages, but they reflect more useful selections in this context, I think.

I personally have never used the button, other than maybe once to see what it did.

On purpose? Never. On accident? Rarely.

I wouldn't miss it. It rarely turns out to be useful, most of the time it is just a nuisance when you accidentally trigger it.

I honestly never noticed that key before now. And I've certainly never pushed it.

Yeah, my first thought was "what menu key?" Suffice to say I've never used it.

* Sanky wonders what exactly will happen if he puts a lot of text inside this little pretty box. He can't help his curiosity and proceeds to fill this box with text in third person, which is what you're reading now.
I have XCompose mapped to it, so I can do cool stuff like [menu ->] → or [menu --] — or..

Well, I forgot any other sequences.
So yeah, rarely.

Wow it's just like magic How did you get a key to appear on my keyboard like that?

Yeah, I use it sometimes, like when I accidentally press it or I'm just messing around with my keyboard. I don't have that key on my keyboard right now though since I'm using a Mac.

My Windows laptop has a menu key up in the corner far away from its usual position, looking like they only put it there because they felt they had to...

And yeah, I never used it.

Nope, I've remapped it to what is the 102nd key on European keyboards

I've never used it as such (other than when I was much younger and wanted to know what it does). It seems like a pointless duplication of the right mouse button to me.

I have rarely ever used it. I tend to just use my mouse for context menus.
