#24 Right click and caret movement
jedit 4.2final and 4.3pre5
java 1.5_06
win xp sp2
Status Quo:
1. Normaly the Caret moves to the clicked position
before the context menu is shown (regular behavior of
most programs).
2. Only In single selection mode and when there is a
selection of text: Caret does not move (stays at begin
or end of the selection)
Requests:
1. same behavior in all cases
2. Toggle this behavior by a new checkbox
(GlobalOptions->TextArea) to control whether the caret
should be moved or not (in all cases:-)).
In fact, I can't see the goal for moving the caret via right click at all.
But since there's no response for 5 years, maybe I'm alone in this opinion. Should I close this request?
I guess so.
It seems to not matter to me whether the cursor moves on right click since I have to left-click to make the context menu go away so I can type again.
Until then, keyboard focus is on the menu so it doesn't matter, unless there is some action in the context menu that cares about where the cursor is...
