Abstract
Techniques permitting users to input keyboard key combinations via context menu shortcuts are provided. A context menu may be invoked by long-pressing a function key such as 'Ctrl.' The context menu includes key combination shortcuts associated with the pressed function key. For example, key combination shortcuts presented in the context menu for 'Ctrl' may include “Ctrl+A,” “Ctrl+C,” “Ctrl+X,” “Ctrl+V,” and “Ctrl+Alt+Del.” The user can input a desired key combination by tapping on an appropriate shortcut. The context menu may include default and/or user-specified key combinations. Default key combinations may be application or operating system specific. In addition, users may configure desired key combinations to be displayed in the context menu for a given function key.
