When you press down-mouse-1 and immediately release the mouse button,
it has the same effect as if you clicked mouse-1: it displays the menu
without selecting a menu item. So with the current win-win situation
both scenarios are supported:
1. one click: down-mouse-1, select a menu item, release mouse-1;
2. two clicks: click mouse-1, select a menu item by clicking mouse-1 again.
Both ways work on xterm as well - you can easily select a menu item with
one click on xterm too.

This is possible, but the menu appears at the left top corner,
as for example it appears on typing 'C-<f10>' that runs the command
buffer-menu-open. Here is its implementation:
(defun buffer-menu-open ()
"Start key navigation of the buffer menu.
This is the keyboard interface to \\[mouse-buffer-menu]."
(interactive)
(popup-menu (mouse-buffer-menu-keymap)
(posn-at-x-y 0 0 nil t)))
We could do the same with:
(popup-menu (context-menu-map)
(posn-at-x-y 0 0 nil t))
Or do it much better:
(popup-menu (context-menu-map)
(point))
What would a good key to bind such command? Maybe 'S-<f10>'?
But please note that currently when you select a menu item
using the keyboard, many commands will fail with
(error "Command must be bound to an event with parameters")
