Hello,

I use "Send video to screen" in classes, where I have a second screen just for the audience. With this feature I can have the player's interface and the playlist on my screen to fully control playback, while the audience watches everything in fullscreen. My only problem with this amazing feature is the following:

When I need any of the options available in the right-click menu, I have to place the cursor on the second screen (where the videos are being displayed) and right-click there. Then the menus appear on top of the fullscreen playback, distracting and annoying the viewers.

So, I'd like to propose that when "Send video to screen" is being used, the right-click menu should be displayed when we right-click on the "empty" player window in the primary screen (where the message "Video is sent to an external screen" is displayed), instead of the second screen where the fullscreen playback takes place. This way, the viewers won't be distructed.
This is how all the sortcuts work, they can be used only when the main window is active, so it would be great if the right-click followed the same logic.

I believe it makes more sence like this, and I hope you'll give it a thought.
If you don't want to remove the right-click menu from the second monitor (maybe some people are used to having it there) you could just add the same functionality to the "empty" player window, for those of us who use SMPlayer to play videos for audiences.

Thank you very much in advance,
Xenos
