Windows11 Terminal

I bought a mini PC called MINISFORUM and became a Windows 11 user, and I noticed the existence of Windows Terminal, which is very useful. I used to use WinKey + r + app name or Wikey + r + cmd to use the command line. Maybe it's because I was originally an MS-DOS user (:-o). The days seem like a long time ago when MS-DOS would first start up and then I would type win to start up Windows before Windows 3.1 (:-). However, as for MicroSoft, it may be that they are still drawn to the compatibility with MS-DOS (:-s). I don't know the details of whether Windows Terminal was added only with Windows 11, or whether it existed before, but I guess Windows finally decided to get rid of the fossil-like cmd application.
However, the settings for using the terminal are in a strange place, so I feel that it is still undergoing a fearful change.
In Windows SettingsPrivacy and SecurityFor Developers, I found a setting for Terminal. It seems that if you set it here, you can use the terminal instead of the console (cmd).

Windows Terminal Settings

The good thing about the terminal is that you can use a number of windows in tabs, and above all, you can copy and paste by CTRL+c and CTRL+v after selecting a range as usual. Of course, the previously executed command can be selected with the up/down cursor keys (this may have been possible before). In the days when there was no terminal, many people used Teraterm to access Linux and other applications, but I think this is sufficient if you have a terminal (jsut personal opinion, lol). From now on, in Windows 11, you can use WinKey + r followed by

ssh [Cloud Computer Name]
ssh [Cloud Computer Name]

to connect to the Cloud Computer. That is wonderful , simple and rapid operation with the function of copy & paste!

Windows11 Right Click Menu

I recently purchased a mini PC, the most expensive one I've had for myself in a very long time, and before I knew it, I was a Windows 11 user (lol), and I've been using it with almost no problems. However, there are some differences, and the most troubling is the mouse Right-Click.
As I wrote in Keyboard Operations in Windows, I am a command line lover by nature (:-), so I try to use the keyboard without using the mouse as much as possible in Windows. Of course, I use the mouse if it is more convenient, so the typical example is Right-Click. Especially in Windows Explorer, Right Click + m (Rename) is very useful. This is not only for renaming a file, but also for copying and pasting a file name in a program or report, Right Click + m + CTLR+c is a specific combination.
It seems that this Explorer Right-Click menu has changed with Windows 11. It may be possible to make it the same as Windows 10 by changing some OS setting, but that is against my policy of using Windows as it is (as much as possible) (:-o), so I need to consider alternative methods.
For some reason, the keyboard operation SHIFT+F10, which is the original right-click menu by keyboard, seems to be the same as in Windows 10, so this is my first choice. However, the drawback is that SHIFT and F10 are a bit far from each other. As the second candidate, after right-clicking, for some reason F2 seems to be used to change the name, so I am considering which of these two candidates to make standard. I would like decide soon ,since my finger has already pressed Right Click + m + CTRL+c several times without my permission and struck out (:-o).
