Sir, thank you. I’m now for 9hours without mouse and i needed to extract one rar file. With shift+F10 it was possible.

The Shift+F10 key shortcut is a very useful tip. I was searching for just this thing for years – but someone could not figure it out. Thanks for sharing.

I made a bet with a friend that I could work on my computer for a whole day without touching a mouse and this tip really helps! I didn’t think about right-clicking, but you saved me!

@Camery, you can copy and paste using the keyboard with CTRL + C and CTRL + V, respectively.

As for right-clicking with the keyboard, it’s great because I rarely use my mouse at all! and it’s really great for laptops since it’s a pain to connect a mouse.

I have been using Shift+F10 for a few years on my laptop because I have a need to assign the right button to perform a double click. During these same few years, I have been searching for a keyboard shortcut to perform a double click so I can return the right click function to default. (If laptops were built with three buttons, as all mice and trackballs currently are, this problem would not exist)

Thank you 100 times for Shift+F10! I have been using the Kinesis Advantage keyboard for a few weeks now, it does not have a key to activate right-click and it has been driving me mad.

Thanks for the shift+F10 tip. I was looking for a way to right click using the keyboard and found this page through a google search. it’s to the point and useful.
Now I’d still really like to know if there’s a keyboard shortcut for creating a new folder (or file) in windows explorer. That would be super useful…

Thnkas so much for this. The two “clickers” on my laptop seemed to have died and i can only click using the touchpad at the moment, so i couldnt right click. I was really frustrated before but this info really helped!
