Pc Keyboard

What does the key in the right-hand corner (ignoring the calculator bit) of my keyboard do ? It's between the Windows symbol and Ctrl and is a square with three hyphens in it. I daren't press it to find out in case it's for blowing up the keyboard!

If it's like the one on my Dell, it does the same as a right-click on the mouse.

It's a menu key

Many thanks, both of you.

You're welcome, at least you know it won't blow up on you ;)

Well... not unless you select menu option 1.

Talking of options I rang the Argos helpline yesterday and got straight through to a real person. It frightened the life out of me!

I've often wondered that. Never used it. On my Dell keyboard it is next to the Altgr key to the right of the spacebar. The Altgr key performs the same function as holding down both Ctrl and Alt. Thus if you wish to type the dreaded € symbol (wash my mouth out) you have two ways of doing it.

Well I'll be.....
You learn something every day.
Never even noticed the menu key before!

Just tried pressing it on mine and nothing happens, so a waste of space IMO.
