    How can I launch the Context Menu (without using mouse Right-Click)


    Hello

    I have a Logitech MK700 keyboard. To fire up the Context Menu (i.e. the thing that pops up when you do a mouse right-click) you have to hit Function key (i.e. "FN") + "Print Screen"

    I would like to us the Context Menu a lot. How can I get the Context Menu to be fired up using different keys?

    i.e. The software that comes with they keyboard "Setpoint" allows you to change what the F-keys do. e.g. Launch Program or Show Custom Menu.

    Is there something I can call in Windows that will fire up the Context Menu?

    Cheers

    J

    EDIT: Shift+F10 doesn't work on my keyboard.

    EDIT02: Typo alert! It's MK700 and not ML700. I have now corrected the above accordingly.

    :)

  2. Flickering text on 4K @ 60Hz

    still working ok for you with the mouse trailing on 60hz? So you can right click and use context menus without flickering?

  3. Right click on desktop not working Windows 10

    Hi,

    In case you're having issue using the right-mouse button, you can still use the keyboard. It it's located on the lower right part of the keyboard beside the right "Ctrl" and it's called the "Menu" key to launch context menu.

    Regards.

    First, there is no "the context menu" as it varies according to the application you are using or window you have activated. The context menu key is located on your keyboard between the right side ALT and CTRL keys. Striking that key will give you whatever context menu is appropriate the same as a right click with a mouse.

    Nope that gives the same menu as you get if you Right-click the Windows Start button. It starts with "Programs and Features"...

    Thank you, Cliff. The OP hasn't commented on my (our) reference although it is a direct answer to his question.

    Nope on my keyboard it says "FN" in sort of mustard colour. Hitting it on its own has no effect.

    As you can see (if this comes out okay) it's a bit of an inconvenient stretch for something that I will need to use the whole time. Either I use the right hand with a big stretch or move the left hand all the way across and use both hands. But either way it's too easy to mess the correct keys! In fact I keep hitting FN +"Pause Break" which turns the entire PC off... :^[

    Ahhh!!! That's just lousy.*Sad
    Almost all other keyboards have a menu key(what it's actually called) because most operating systems have menus(RCmenus).

    It depends on which model keyboard you have. I have a Logitech wireless and a Logitech Gaming Keyboard. My wireless keyboard is the same as yours. My gaming keyboard has no FN keys and the menu key is like shown in @Cliff S picture.

    Here is the keyboard shortcut:
    SHIFT+F10 Display the shortcut menu for the selected item.



    A bit more: SHIFT+F10 Display the shortcut menu for the selected item. ALT+SPACEBAR Display the System menu for the active window. CTRL+ESC Display the Start menu. ALT+Underlined letter in a menu name Display the corresponding menu.

    Cliff, he stated earlier that Shift+F10 didn't work on his KB either. I googled Logitech ML700 and got nothing except his post above but the Logitech MK700 was prominently mentioned and it has the Menu key as described. Go figure!
