Mouse events are always used to pop up context menus over widgets which need to know the button (right mousebutton) and the position, because the user expects the context menu to pop up at the same position the mouse cursor currently is.
The user would use a mouse to move a cursor onto the icon and press a mouse button to execute the function or program.

Position the cursor anywhere in the document you want to print, then click and hold down on the mouse button so a menu becomes visible near the cursor.
