When was the last time you heard that? Second grade? Me too. Unless you were my date last night who had to hear it with an elbow in the rib before it registered. So how about applying this classic principal when you're typing? 
I'm not a keystroke fanatic but as long as my hands are on the keys, I try to keep them there.
To make this easier, Windows keyboards offer the Windows Key
and
the Right-Click key. Yes, you heard me, the right-click key. It will offer you a contextual menu based on what you have highlighted or focused - try it. The Windows Key is usually to the left of your space bar and the Right-Click Key is
usually to the right (they can vary in look and position). Knowing how to use these has helped me a few times when the batteries in my mouse have died. (And of course, Mac has the Apple and Option keys.)
