Since on many terminal emulators S-f10 is not available,
here is a patch that binds it to C-f10 only on tty and context-menu-mode.

PS: not sure if it would be ok if Emacs started as daemon
will bind 'C-f10' to the context menu, then emacsclient will
still retain 'C-f10' on a graphical frame.  If this is a problem,
then we could define the binding conditionally using :filter.
