## Remarks

This default window menu is provided by the system and on some platforms
provides functionality for setting or changing privileged state on the
window, such as moving it between workspaces or displays, or toggling the
always-on-top property.

On platforms or desktops where this is unsupported, this function does
nothing.

## Version

This function is available since SDL 3.1.3.
