    ALT Key Codes for Special Characters List


    I think you're confusing Keyboard Shortcuts and Alternative Typing Characters.

    Keyboard Shortcuts substitute UI tasks in place of mouse buttons or gestures, plus much more.

    Alt Codes allow you to type 'Alternative Characters' into forms.

    I understand what you are saying, but on the other hand, whether it is a character or a mouse click, both are related to certain numerical code. So, I think that typing of that numerical code should have desired result (a character or a click). Where am I wrong?

    Welcome to Tenforums!

    It's not a "Alt" key code. It's shift+F10.


    The right-click keyboard shortcut is to hold down SHIFT and then press F10. That's one of my favorite keyboard shortcuts because it comes in VERY handy and sometimes it's actually easier to use the keyboard than the mouse.



    How to Right Click using the Keyboard


    Hope that helps. TC.....
