I am using a Macintosh keyboard on Windows and would like to create a hotkey so that I can turn ctrl and some other other button into the “right click context menu” button of non-mac keyboards.

What would such a script look like?

Let’s say I want to make ctrl+R as the “right click context menu” command.

I know the usage of AutoHotkey so I just want to know what the script would look like.

The key in question is the "Application" key (the one that brings up the context menu)..

Note: It's basically a shortcut key for Shift+F10.

In AuotHotKey the Application key can be referenced directly, as "AppsKey".

So

^r::AppsKey

should assign Ctrl+r to behave as the Application Key.

More info (including specific references to the AppsKey) can be found in AutoHotKey's instructions on their site: Remapping the Keyboard and Mouse

For a full set of addressable keys in AHK see their List of Keys, Mouse Buttons, and Joystick Controls
