Hi, the function keys in windows should follow the conventions you set up on 
your mac.

Shift f10 will bring up a context menu, although windows seven has conveniently 
offered you two different context menus for some of the main objects.  One is 
on the applications key and the other is on the shift f10 key.

It's also worth mentioning that key remap for macbook will place a standard 
calculator pad on the right hand side of your portable or bluetooth keyboard 
which would then offer you an awkward but functional insert key as well as 
access to the mouse curser functions of your screen reader of choice, in my 
case, window-eyes.

Hope this helps,
