Yeah. I know. I still want it put back where it made semantic sense, though!

Silly question, but possibly revealing: Why? Is it just for the filename?

This point I can't really argue against, but I don't see it as a problem.
Just make it two separate key bindings ("Show Context Menu" and "Show OSD")
and let me overload them onto the same key. There's no OSD in the menus,
and there's no context menu in playback, so there's no conflict (unless you
insist that it's not "Show OSD" but "Show Recording Information", which I
continue to argue is less useful than having a menu system that makes
semantic sense!)
