xev told me that the "Windows" key on my keyboard (which opens the KDE

the context menu (same as right clicking generally).

I had originally gotten "Menu" by running "xev" in a SystemRescue session. When I run "xev" in Debian, it says "Super_L."

I changed my .Xmodmap to set "pause" (keycode 127)  to "Super_L."

When my session starts, running "xev" reports Pause is indeed generating "Super_L" — and the Window key is also generating "Super_L." But xev says the Window key does other stuff. But unlike the Super_L generated by the Window key, the remapped Pause key doesn't open the KDE menu, even though it's generating Super_L.
