Shortcuts keep popping up when typing
I'm experiencing the most annoying problem when typing on my keyboard. It's a Dell KM632 bluetooth keyboard. When I'm typing, the context menu (right click menu) pops up (and sometimes other shortcut menus), seemingly randomly, and it's making it very difficult to type well. My bluetooth USB plug-in is literally less than a foot from my keyboard.
I can't seem to pinpoint the specific combination of keystrokes that makes it happen. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Normal keyboard activity should not cause too much of this. Check Control Panel, Accessibility features and turn off any keyboard assists . That may be your problem.
are there other electronic devices near? if so - put them farther away
test also by moving the keyboard in different directions

John Hurst,
I have nothing enabled in Accessibility.
nobus,
There's a desk phone and a tablet nearby, but they have been nearby for many months now and this problem just started occurring. My battery lights aren't low, but could it be a battery strength issue?

Battery on the Bluetooth devices certainly could be an issue. I carry spare batteries in my briefcase for my Bluetooth mouse for that reason.
The Dell computer should not be an issue, but you can always try upgrading / reinstalling the Bluetooth driver.

you can easily test the batteries - by replacing them

I replaced the batteries, and the problem is still occurring.
Did you update the Bluetooth driver? Does any other Bluetooth device work in this computer?
