Total Commander Right click error

Post by *Snake Eyes »

I've been using "WINDOWS" commander 5.00 since it came out, I even using it now.
Reason being:
My friend got hold of a version of TOTAL Commander (the 3rd version after the name change I think) and I noticed that there was NO right click functioning......Where did it go? has it been fixed in a newer update?? this is the only reason Y I havent moved over to total commander.

All help appreciated.

This happens, if you have enabled "Mouse selection Mode" = Right Click !

Right Mouse Click is still working, you just have to press it a little bit longer (for 2-3 sec) to show the menu ...

Minor correction:
Slow right click only feels like 2-3 seconds, actually 1 second is enough. :wink:

After seeing that you can still have the context-menu w/ NC right click, I decided to try it...One question though selected files seem to be very sticky - how do you unselect files w/o manually deselecting each one w/ the space bar...

Yes it does, but it functions as if "ctrl" is continually pressed. I have to manually deselect each file. For example if I click on the first file in the list then [shift] and select the last file in the list with LEFT-click - then all files are selected, and the only way to unselect them appears to be with ctrl+gray(-) or to use up a icon on the menubar for unselect.

Guess I am just too used to non-NC behaviour where just clicking on a non-selected file will undo a given selection.
