[Qgis-developer] [QGIS-UX] Context menu on canvas

[Monod Olivier]

Very, very good idea !

I don't think it's too early for the attribute and map layer selection Denis.

I would expose it in the API so that "custom shortcuts" could be added at the end of the list.

That's a big +1 for me.


If it's not too early, I would add to the list:
Attribute and map layer actions
Derived info
maybe a paste here (would shift feature)

Hey all,

I would like to discuss the possibility of having a right click context menu on the canvas.  I know there is a current feature of swapping to the last used map tool but I feel this is a weak feature compared to what we could have in a context menu. The one main point though is the context menu should not expose anything that isn't already in the UI, it can be a shortcut but it can't be context menu only.

Some current things I was thinking of are:

Last Tool
Second Last Tool
------------------------
Copy
Paste
-----------------------
Feature Info
-----------------------
etc
etc

We could also add things like snapping options if holding control.

Thoughts?  Will anything really miss the swap to last tool feature?  IMO adding a context menu adds a lot of quick access options for us.

I will of course do a QEP about this.
