Is there any shortcut to have the same effect as the right click of the mouse as I don't have the menu button on my laptop

If not, is there any alternative way such that I can make it possible

    The easiest way is to install xdotool, with which you can a.o. simulate key (combinations) and mouseclicks.

    sudo apt-get install xdotool

    then open System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts, set a key combination you like, and make it run the command:

    xdotool click 3

  2. In the latest Ubuntus you can do that with Shift+F10
