<p class="MsoNormal">+1 For giving some additional use to right-mouse-click in map canvas. Context menus seems coherent with most of software that I have worked with.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">For currently actions using direct right-click, I see a few alternatives:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1 - The action is the first on the context menu ( need 2 clicks and breaks current usability);<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2 - Assign function key for those actions (fast but breaks usability, not suitable for mouse position dependent actions); <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">3 - Change right-click direct action to Shift + Right Click ( faster, and kinda keeps usability); <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I personally like the solution 1 + 3, direct action is detached at the top of the context menu and can be accessed directly (no context menu is showed) if one presses Shift (or Ctrl) while clicking.<o:p></o:p></p>

+1 with you alister. We could put that global target on 2.1 roadmap maybe.<br>
contextual menu are generally used for differents purposes:<br>
<br>
1- access properties of the object you click in .<br>
for mapCanvas, you could have shortcuts to projection settings, project<br>
settings, current zoom and scale, refresh content, stop redraw. I think<br>
some shortcuts to render global options could be nice. I often have to play<br>
with antialiased rendering / number of objetcts to draw when displaying very<br>
large datasets. A shortcut could be nice. Do you see anything else.<br>
<br>
<br>
2- actions under the click location (layers actions, plugins actions, finsh<br>
editing of a feature).<br>
<br>
we must precisely decide what happens for editing use case, where right<br>
click is used today top finish an object.. Thoughts?<br>
<br>
