MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / May 2006VBA or shortcut for Windows Application key?
Hi everyone, Am running dual ops and would like to access right menu using keyboard n Word. Is there a right menu keyboard VBA (think I saw one somewhere) that I can assign a key to immitate APPLICATION key on Windows keyboard? Or any other solution to achieve the keyboard right click instead of mouse right click? Many thanks.

Shift+F10 will display the right-click menu for the current selection. Is that what you mean?

As in keyboard shortcuts or toolbar button? Yes I did not configure Express and am now Microsoft News until I do. > Hi News.microsoft.com, > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > reply > in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) Hi News.microsoft.com, > Thank you Cindy - yes thanks- but is it a programmable function? As in > keyboard shortcuts or toolbar button? I don't understand your question. The command is already a keyboard shortcut; you're saying you want to assign yet a different shortcut to it? you can find out what the command name is by going to Tools/Customize/Keyboard. Click in the "new shortcut" field and press the keyboard combination. Now look below at what command it's assigned to. You can then search that command in the list of "All commands" and assign any other keyboard shortcut or toolbar button to the command. Put WordBasic. in front of it and you can call it from code. Now that you have the command name you can also use the Keybindings collection to assign a keyboard shortcut.

Which is why I am asking - it works on shortcut but is not TANGIBLE - it shows UNASSIGNED? I thought it would be something like MenuMode or some such thing? Thought somebody might know the Command Name? I have just installed on a new computer so my keyboard shortcuts are clean - I have not started reassigning at this point. Thanks for the help Cindy.

And there probably isn't any command because it's done by the OS?

You know you can customize the context menus in Word (= put built-in commands, submenus or macros on them, or remove stuff)? Not easy though because there's 62 contexts for the doc's content, and Word decides what shows on any of those (and what's not currently visible or grayed out) dynamically. Klaus I have dual ops Windows / Mac and want to use Mac keyboard instead of 2 keyboards. I like the app key one key stroke on Windows keyboard thought I could VBA produce the instructions if easy to do or assign Command to keystroke (but as you say it is OS). I right click often and one key to press is quick and easy. I like the APPS key. I do not want to run 2 keyboards ALL the time just for ease. But maybe it is easier to do it that way. Many thanks Klaus. > BTW, it's still not clear what you want to do... > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Klaus Hi Fred, > Yes it does work for Shift F10 and the Application key on a windows keyboard > but if I click which I had already done in keyboard shortcuts Shift F10 it > shows UNASSIGNED?

Thought somebody might know the Command Name? I got an answer back, and basically it's: We can't do it. It's along the lines that Klaus mentions in his posting. MS could do it, but it's at such a deep level that it's very difficult (= take too mach time, therefore low priority).
