not unless you bypass JAWS; that brings up a list of running programs. In MS Outlook, F10brings up the ribbon. In some contexts, it fulfills its historic function, going all the way back to Lotus 1-2-3, or maybe even VisiCalc.

Also, the applications key and right-mouse-click menus are often, but not always, identical.

As Jean says the key left of the right control key is the context menu key, or applications key, which I use all the time. I avoid the laptop keyboard like the plague and use an external keyboard on my laptop all the time. I refuse to learn two sets of JAWS commands.

There have been recent references in different threads to "the applications key" and I have no idea what it is, or at least that's not the terminology I'm familiar with for it if it turns out I use it all the time.
