Get menu to open at cursor

[Geonovast]

Quite awhile back I was using another distro/DE (I do not remember which one, but fairly certain it was not mint/mate), and there was an option to have the Super key open the menu at the location of the cursor instead of at the location of the button. I thought it was silly at first but now that I have 4 monitors I think it would actually be pretty handy.

I've poked around in the options here in MATE and I don't see anywhere to enable that. Is this something that can be done? I have tried the googles but the results are just pointing me to advice on how to get it to open the menu at the location of the button, which it already does.

Running LM 21.1 with MATE 1.26.0.

I am a LM 21.1 MATE user. With Compiz, somehow I can Alt+F1 and get a classical GNOME 2/MATE style menu by the location of cursor. I don't know if it is good enough for your purpose.

A lot of window managers (non-desktop-environments) have that with right-click on the Desktop, like Openbox, Fluxbox etc.

Oh yeah, that's what I needed! Just gonna swap those in the keyboard shortcuts. Dunno why I didn't see if maybe it was another function further down the list...

Thanks!

edit: Doesn't seem to work if I change it to do anything with the mod key. I'll just get used to Alt+F1.
