Knowing and using keyboard shortcuts like the ones in a previous post Must Know Shortcuts, save time and effort.
But what happens if you don’t have a mouse, trackball, or a touch pad or worse yet, they don’t work. If that happens, it’s good to know a couple of “survivor” shortcuts.
Today’s keyboard shortcut is “how to right click without a mouse.”
To right click with the keyboard, hold the Shift key down and press the F10 key at the same time.
That’s it. Practice this a few times to test it out. Easy, isn’t it?
Check back soon for more shortcuts.
