New Keys for Windows 95

Application Key

When the user presses the unmodified Application key, the
application brings up the Context menu (a pop-up menu) at the
current selection, much as pressing the right mouse button
does in some applications today. Pressing the Application key
does not disturb the current cursor position.
For compatibility with 101-key keyboards, the functionality of
the Application key should map to existing keys - for example,
the key combination SHIFT+F10 could map to the Application
key functionality.

Windows Keys

When the user presses either Windows key - Left or Right - the
Start menu appears. Both keys can be used to modify other
keys.
The operating system controls the functionality of the Windows
keys. Only shell applications should implement these keys, and
then only in such a way as to preserve and extend the keys'
functionality in the Windows 95 shell.
