Link to issue number:

Fixes #14929

Summary of the issue:

Some users do not know that Shift+F10 is an alternative to the Applications key for accessing the Context menu.
As a good reason to provide this information in the user guide, make note of it in the first place which describes use of the Applications key: accessing the NVDA menu.

Description of user facing changes

Altered the user guide section in question as follows:

  • Since there were several ways listed to access the NVDA menu already, and Clarify "applications key" and how to access the context menu in the user guide #14929 asked to add another one: put all the methods in a list.
  • Described the Shift+F10 alternative to the Applications key.
  • Added code markers around all keys in that section, except "Windows logo key+B", which is written differently.
  • Moved the right-click mouse option to last, since it is the least likely for a blind user.

Description of development approach

Edited text. Saved text. Made commits. Did it some more.

Testing strategy:

Have @Qchristensen read over the proposed changes. (Pending)
