Assuming that the user has a keyboard with an application key that is the method that is used most often by JAWS users that I have observed. It is the method that I was taught by my JAWS instructor.

Subject: [WebAIM] What is a common way of accessing context menu in windows based application?

Hi Accessibility Experts,

What is a common way of accessing context menu in windows operating system? Is it Application key or shift+F10.

This question may sound silly to many of you, but I'm asking this after discovering the fact in some windows based application, only shift+F10 is provided to launch context menu, user is unable to launch the same by pressing application key.

Thanks
Best Regards,
