Mouse right click acts like a "back" key

In android the mouse right click acts like a back key. When you are using Kodi for instance you don't get a context menu after a right click. You will have to reach for your keyboard and press "c". It looks like there is no easy way to enable context menu with a mouse. I have found this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10041295/android-usb-mouse-right-click-correct-behaviour-ics but I am not a coder. If somebody knows (or is able to code) a simple switch button for mouse behavior on Minix android boxes it would be lovely!

In Kodi long press on left mouse click will bring up the context menu once released, is this what you are looking for?

In addition to @Marty 's suggestion, don't forget you can also create specific key maps in Kodi as well to achieve the desired behaviour(s).

If, as or when you've successfully set up a functioning key map for your requirements in Kodi you can also use a file explorer app to quickly navigate to the keyboard.xml file & simply make a copy/backup if you need it again in the future.

The file location is... Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml

Simply drop your saved preconfigured file into the location above & you won't need to potentially configure it again in the future too if you did need to start with a fresh Kodi install for any reason :).
