Thanks for looking into it. I have never liked things on that side of that row; shift-f10, insert-f11 or f12, all that. I do not have the compiler for FileDir and would not know what I was doing enough to modify the code even if I had it, but thanks all the same. Good luck investigating!
Have a great day, Alex

This is the first I've heard that Shift+F10 is awkward to press,
but I
want to be responsive. I picked that key since it is the
standard
keyboard alternative to a right mouse click. I will investigate
whether
I can program the Applications key to be synonymous.
Unfortunately,
nearly every other key combination is already taken. In the
meantime,
you could write a simple JAWS or Window-Eyes script that sends
Shift+F10
when the key combination you prefer is pressed. You could also
recompile
FileDir if you like. EdSharp's keys are configurable, but
FileDir's are
not at this point, and it would be a substantial reworking of
code to
change that.

That's a shame. Could it at least be something more convenient, like ctrl-m or something like that? That exact hotkey may be taken, but you know what I mean; something that is not on the right side of the f-keys, in my opinion about the most inconvenient location on the entire keyboard.
Have a great day, Alex

I just tested and found that it does not respond to theApplications keyas well. I think that would involve lower level keyboardhandling,though am not sure.

Will this come up with the applications key as well asShift+F10, ordoes that require deeper drilling of the keyboard?

It provides most, though not all, of thefunctionality ofthat menu in Windows Explorer. Other functionality, and more,issometimes provided by other FileDir commands or menus. If youfindsomething missing, let me know.

In FileDir, is there a way to access the standard Windowscontextmenu for files and folders? I liked FileDir when I tried it, but the absence of this menu was a big turn-off.
