[NFBCS] Applications functions on a laptop

[Steve Jacobson]

I didn't see it documented anywhere, but my Dell laptop does not have an applications key, but pressing the FN key, usually to the left of the Windows key, along with the right control key works as an applications key.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Try pressing Shift + Fn + F10.
On many laptops, the Fn key must be pressed  in order that the F-keys perform normal F-key functions.

Neither could I get Jaws right mouse click or shift-f10 to work.  Is there another way to get at the menu I would get if I had the applications key? 

Alternatively, and maybe better, how can I be sure a connected keyboard has an applications key before I buy it?  Is it just a standard thing on what I think is called an enhanced keyboard?  

Well, to me it's a standard thing, but maybe not anymore.

Thanks.

Tracy
