<title>What is the <key>Menu</key> key?</title>
34
<p>The <key>Menu</key> key, also known as the <em>Application</em> key, is a
35
key found on some Windows-oriented keyboards. This key is usually on the
36
bottom-right of the keyboard, next to the <key>Ctrl</key> key, but it can be
37
placed in a different location by keyboard manufacturers. Its is usually
38
depicted as a cursor hovering above a menu:

<p>The primary function of this key is to launch a context menu with the
49
keyboard rather than by clicking the right mouse button: this is useful if
50
mouse or a similar device is not available, or when the right mouse button is
53
<p>The <key>Menu</key> key is sometimes omitted in the interest of space,
54
particularly on portable and laptop keyboards. In this case, some keyboards
55
include a <key>Menu</key> function key that can be activated in combination
56
with the Function (<key>Fn</key>) key.</p>
58
<p>The <em>context menu</em> is a menu that pops up when you right-click. The
59
menu that you see, if any, is dependent on the context and function of the
60
area that you right-clicked. When you use the <key>Menu</key> key, the
61
context menu is shown for the area of the screen that your cursor is over at
62
the point when the key is pressed.</p>
