How do I "Right click" with only a keyboard?

Recommended Posts

I know how to right click>properties with a keyboard, (alt+enter) but how to right click by itself?

If you have a 'Windows' keyboard, you can press the button just to the left of the right control button. It has a menu with a mouse pointer selecting the menu. Of course, you would first have to have the icon/object selected first.

But what if I don't have a win keyboard. I know ctrl+esc pops up the start menu, but what does the right-click?

Does anyone know of a list of this key-combiantions. Also for office. I know a good one. Ctrl-F6 to switch between windows...

 

Did anyone bother to collect them all?

My old Windows 95 had a whole back page of keystroke combinations:

 

F1 = Help

ALT + F4 = Quit Program

Shift + F10 = Right Click

Ctrl + Esc = Pop the Start Menu

ALT + TAB = Switch Active Window

Ctrl + X = Cut

Ctrl + C = Copy

Ctrl + V = Paste

DEL = Delete an item

Ctrl + Z = Undo last action

Hold Shift while inserting a CD to avoid Autoplay

 

When items are selected you can use these shortcuts:

F2 = Rename

F3 = Open up find

Shift + DEL = Immediate delete

ALT + Enter = Item properties

ALT + Double Click = Item properties

CTRL while dragging with mouse = Copy

CTRL + SHIFT while dragging with mouse = Create Shortcut

 

A few more:

F6 = To switch left and right panes

Double click corner icon on window to close it.

F5 = Refresh

 

Yeah I was kinda bored.
