    Shift Right click without focusing


    I occasionally have a game open off screen. Usually I resolve this by Shift right clicking the window in the task bar to open the context menu with the move option.

    The problem is shift right clicking in Windows 10 also gives focus to the window. In Windows 7 it doesn't focus the window but just opens the menu. This means if it's a game the game gets focus, even if offscreen, and the menu is lost.

    Is there a way to open the shift+right click menu without giving focuse to the window?

    Switch keyboard layout with right Shift and left Shift

    I see only LAlt-Shift, Grave Accent and Ctrl-Shift. The list of options is very limited.

    I reckon I will have to use Ctrl-Shift and use right-hand side keys...

    Shift Right click without focusing

    Intel Speed Shift Technology Skylake

    You just need a Skylake CPU and ThrottleStop, once turned on speed shift you can exit the software as unclewebb said above.
