Context Menu

Posted in tech-tips by Tara Cain on February 19, 2010

Anywhere at anytime, a simple right-click with your mouse will reveal a context menu.  The context menu, as its name suggests, provides you with a variety of options that suit what you are doing at the time…basically you get options that are in context with what you are doing.

Go ahead, give it a try – right now – if you right-click with your mouse on these very words you are reading you will see a menu appear that gives you options that are appropriate, super handy.

Oh, and by the way, if you are like me and often prefer keystrokes take a look at the key on your keyboard located in between alt and ctrl to the right of the spacebar; it should kind of look like a menu…guess what, this also opens the context menu and all without touching your mouse!
