Hello! I have a Lenovo computer( Lenovo ThinkPad P15s Gen 1. I can't find the applications key, which is used to open a menu in an application. I think in all keyboards there is a button like that. But in my computer, i just can't find it. What to do? Support page offers no help.

Best regards: Marco

The key exists, but whether it'll be on your compact computer keyboard is the question. If there's a separate function key, try holding that along with some modifiers if you're sure that the applications key doesn't have a dedicated key.

If you for whatever reason wish to contact me, the best way to do so is through Discord (@Minionslayer0). You'll get the quickest response times, and by extension, a higher priority. I also sometimes post my thoughts (for the better or worse) over on Mastodon at @Minionslayer.

Ok, so my computer does have an FN-key, but when i hold it with shift, alt or ctrl, nothing happens.

Shift+F10

If you want to contact me, do not use the forum PM. I respond once a year or two, when I need to write a PM myself. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Again, there's also a chance the computer manufacturer has a specific key. It's usually function, in combination with a modifier on the right-hand side.

Shift+F10 is a windows shortcut for emulating that functionality, but it is not universal.

What you want for these problems is Sharpkeys.  If your keyboard doesn't have Applications, pick a key you don't use, map it, problem solved.
