Line 1:
In computing, the '''Menu key''' or Application key is a key found on Windows-oriented computer keyboards. It is typically found to the right of the keyboard, between the right [[control key]] and [[Windows key]] (or between the right control key and right [[alt key]]). Its primary function is to launch a [[context menu]] with the keyboard rather than with the usual right mouse button. The key's symbol is a small icon depicting a cursor hovering above a menu. This key was created at the same time as the Windows key.
Typically, it does not launch a context menu where your [[mouse cursor]] is, but at a corner of the page/window. This key is normally used when the right mouse button is not present on the mouse.
Some Windows public terminals do not have a Menu key on their keyboard to prevent users from right-clicking.
