Everybody likes to get the job done at the stroke of a key using some form of shortcut Keys. But by default most of the options are already available through a right click. So it would be easy to just use the keyboard shortcut to get the right click context menu and then use the arrow keys to choose different options.

So what is the keyboard shortcut to open the right click context menu in Windows?
