Interesting, may I ask why/how/in what scenarios? Is it a trackpad thing? I was assuming it was an accessibility thing. That key's always been strange to me, never could figure out who used it and for what.


Sometimes when I want to "right click" something, it's more comfortable to use the Menu key than to reach for the mouse. For example, when going through a list of items with the arrow keys.


It’s quite useful to correct highlighted spelling errors.


It’s very handy for me when say I only have one finger available to operate the laptop (eg holding something/having dinner).
