Right-click in TC short right-click like in File Explorer

Post by *Kristof »

Hi, how can I have right-click in TC behaving like right-click in File Explorer ?
Currently in TC, I need to leave the right-click button for 2s in order for the context menu to show up.
I want to open the context menu in TC like I do in File Explorer, that is by doing a normal short right-click . Regards

Hi,
Try this.

wincmd.ini - section [Configuration]

Code: Select all

ContextProgress=0
Restart TC if it does not work immediately.

That only suppresses the tiny progress bar, but it doesn't change the time the right mouse button needs to be hold down before the context menu appears.

Thanks for the hint!

I could not find any
- difference between Explorer and TC when I right-clicked
- other parameter in the wincmd.ini that could have somehow come into question

Configuration > Operation > Mouse selection mode: ◉ Use right mouse button (as in NC) - context menu after 1 second

Yiou can use PopupDelay to shorten the delay before the context menu pops up:
Help wrote:PopupDelay=500 Right mouse button selection mode: Delay in milliseconds until right click context menu is shown. Shorter clicks or click+drag just selects the file(s).
Personally I use:

Code: Select all

ContextProgress=0
PopupDelay=250
It feels like I almost does not need to make a long click, but I can still easily select files with right click in NC mode.

To me NC mode is a must. With Explorer mod I just have to make on accidental click and all my selections are gone - that is too stressfull for me.

Ahh, thank you!
That was the setting I couldn't assign to this topic.

I had this setting which works well for me:

Code: Select all

PopupDelay=150
