Click and Hold Mouse Button for Context Menu?
Authored by: syrreg on Nov 15, '02 12:38:54PM

To complete the one-handed browsing experience, Chimera still needs to have "click and hold for context menu" functionality. In IE, OmniWeb, Mozilla, Opera, and just about every other Mac OS X browser, if you point to a link and hold the mouse button down, the context menu pops up after a short delay without having to hold down the CTRL key simultaneously.

There is a bug filed for it:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159224

Perhaps it will be implemented if enough people vote for it.

Click and Hold Mouse Button for Context Menu?

Yes, I voted for this one. Chimera's contextual menus are weak in other ways, but it's a pain in the ass to not be able to access them without a two-handed action on a stock or portable Mac. It's a holy war over at bugzilla, b/c some key people don't want click-and-hold --despite the fact that all other mac browsers do it, it's useful, and it's what users expect.
