Keyboard shortcut for right-click context menu

[taurus2u]

The right-click on the touchpad requres a great deal of pressure, is there another way to access the context menu that I normally open with a right-click of the mouse?  Or, is there a way to program the touchpad on the dv6 3134nr so that I can tap to open the context menu instead of using the cumbersome right-click?  My touchpad sensitivity is set as low as it goes, but this does not seem to affect the click pressure required.

Try the key between the alt and ctrl keys on the right side. #10 in the picture below

You are totally awesome!  Thought I tried that key, but must have missed it.  Am I correct that the synaptics touchpad does not have a programmable "tap" feature that will open the context menu and using a "right-click" is the only option?

Clicking on context menu key (situated between ALT and CTRL keys) does not work on HTML pages. it always assumes that the mouse is currently pointing to top-left corner of the html page. 

If you click on context menu key when mouse pointer is on a link on on a picture, it still shows the html contxt menu showing 'Back', 'Forward', 'Reload' options instead of showing 'Open link in new tab' etc. 

Shift-F10 also does not work on Folio13 as described in some other posts.

Hello,

I used to use this key from the keyboard a lot, but something happened (it looks like a settings issue) and now the contextual menu that appears when I click the right button of the mouse is the menu I need, but, the menu that appears when I use the key from the keyboard is different, looks like the context menu of the XP version, is there a way in which I configure this key? hope I was clear enough. please help me.

There's no key between right Alt and right Ctrl on my laptop's keyboard (i have HP pavilion 15 with windows 8.1) . And I cannot find the menu key anywhere on the keyboard. I wish it was there, it was a very convenient thing on my previous systems.

Got the same 15 inch hp Pavilion laptop . Hp has a good build and have taken care of the heating problems, but they always make the worst keyboard. The squished up-down arrow keys arent helpful but you can get used to it. However the lack of the "content menu button" is very annoying. (it's between right alt and ctrl keys). The alternate shortcut for this is Shift+F10. But this shortcut is really not comfortable. I would recoment you invest in a good external mouse.
