    Looking in the Mouse section of the Control Panel, it seems that the only options for toggling the touchscreen to right-click are CTRL or Shift.

    Does anyone know if there's any way to make it use the Menu key (between Right-ALT and INS) instead? Either by changing something in the registry, or editing something with a hex editor, or even something that remaps the keyboard for just the mouse software (and otherwise disables the standard function of the Menu key being pressed, of course)?

    Right now I have it set to use Shift, because I use the CTRL-whatever shortcuts in things much more often than I actually type much in, but when I do enter things in it still gets annoying.

    Plus I otherwise never use the Menu key for anything anyways, and even if I did need to I could just use the equivalent Shift-F10.

    AutoHotKey is a utility that supports many kinds of keyboard mapping. Check it out at www.autohotkey.com
