[OpenLayers-Dev] Pan with left, Zoom(Box) with right mouse button

[Dirk Hamberger]

I don't expect this to be that easy as
just rewriting / subclassing the Navigation control ...

Especially, I wonder if any native Drag Operation within
OpenLayers is limited to the left mouse button for some
reason ...

All the way down the inheritance and aggregation chain down from ...

OpenLayers.Control.Navigation -> 
OpenLayers.Control.ZoomBox ->
OpenLayers.Handler.Box ->
OpenLayers.Handler.Drag

... I see the following line in the Drag Handler:

   mousedown: function (evt) {
        var propagate = true;
        this.dragging = false;
        if (this.checkModifiers(evt) && OpenLayers.Event.isLeftClick(evt)) {
            this.started = true;
            ...
        } else {
            this.started = false;
            ...

And on the way down my source sniffing, there's always the 
construct "keyMask" (e.g. OpenLayers.Handler.MOD_SHIFT) /
"checkModifiers(evt)"

As ZoomBox and the Panning both depend on the Drag Handler
I suppose neither of both could be installed on the right mouse button
without writing and patchin a whole bunch of OpenLayers Code ...

Or am I mislead - for some reason I can't find any drag operation
in OpenLayers that resides on the right mouse button ...!?


Regards,
Dirk.
