Hi,
I want to open the context menu you get when you right click and choose properties with the key it has on my keyboard but there is always a file or folder selected and pressing that button opens context menu of that Item.
In an empty folder it works fine. I even removed ".." but didn't help.
Cheers.
p.s. LOVE DOPUS
Use {sourcepath$} in your command.

I'm sorry, which "command"? I think only de-selcting would suffice.

Is the aim to make a hotkey which opens the Properties dialog for the current folder?
Or the context menu you get if you go up a level and right-click the folder you were in?
Or the context menu you get when you right-click the folder background?
Those are all possible, but I'm not sure which one you're looking for.
If you can post a screenshot of what you want to open via the keyboard, that should make it clearer.
So If you ask "which command",
then answer is :
"I have no idea what the key on your keyboard invokes and from where you removed quotation marks".
Some effort and care, please.
Help others to help you.

Make a button which runs: Properties {sourcepath$}
