Menu key
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
