Windows 10: Keyboard shortcut to "right click" taskbar/system tray items

Community:


I'm aware of the keyboard shortcuts to access the TaskbarWin-T and System TrayWin-B. I can then navigate the items on those bars using arrow keys. From there, is there an option to "right click" the selected item?


For instance, using Win-T I navigate to FileManager on my Taskbar. Rather than just opening it by hitting "enter", I would like to use the keyboard to access the options available for opening itright-click - pinned items, different drives, frequent, etc. Sort of like Shift-F10 within Apps.


Thanks in advance!

Change Taskbar Color with a Keyboard Shortcut

Hi Z_A_S

I am sorry, there is no way to create a keyboard shortcut to change the Taskbar color, there are just too many steps in that operation to be linked to a keyboard shortcut, there is not even a registry hack to do this . . .
