I shall need to practice but that's great, thanks Dwight. It turns out that the Context Menu key on my (Logitech MK700) Windows keyboard is Function key + Printscreen. Weird - who would have thought? And not the easiest thing to reach. [Why do they make this so hard??]
Sadly Shift+F10 doesn't work either. [FWIW, my Setpoint software for my logitech keyboard allows various things to be launched but I can't see any way of launching the Context Menu ] J On Saturday, October 15, 2016 at 3:18:39 AM UTC+1, Dwight Arthur wrote: > > First, let me correct an error in what I said before.
