  <title>What is the <key>Menu</key> key?</title>

  
The <key>Menu</key> key, also known as the Application key, is a

  key found on some Windows-oriented keyboards. This key is usually on the

  bottom-right of the keyboard, next to the <key>Ctrl</key> key, but it can be

  placed in a different location by keyboard manufacturers. Its is usually

  depicted as a cursor hovering above a menu:

  <media its:translate="no" type="image" mime="image/svg" src="figures/keyboard-key-menu.svg">

  <key>Menu</key> key icon</media>.

  
The primary function of this key is to launch a context menu with the

  keyboard rather than by clicking the right mouse button: this is useful if

  mouse or a similar device is not available, or when the right mouse button is

  not present.

  
The <key>Menu</key> key is sometimes omitted in the interest of space,

  particularly on portable and laptop keyboards. In this case, some keyboards

  include a <key>Menu</key> function key that can be activated in combination

  with the Function (<key>Fn</key>) key.

  
The context menu is a menu that pops up when you right-click. The

  menu that you see, if any, is dependent on the context and function of the

  area that you right-clicked. When you use the <key>Menu</key> key, the

  context menu is shown for the area of the screen that your cursor is over at

  the point when the key is pressed.
