Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open native mouse settings
    mouse settings
  2. Change the windows "Select your primary button" to be "Right"
  3. Open Chrome or FireFox
  4. Go to a web page with a plain text heading. Here's one I created on CodePen
  5. Navigate to the heading
  6. Press the 'Space' or 'Enter' key

Actual behavior:

NVDA right clicks on the page and shows a dialog.
right-click-event

Expected behavior:

NVDA should respect the Windows mouse configuration for primary keys. As a result, NVDA should trigger the left click in this scenario.
