[opensuse] keyboard shortcut to right-click in Konqueror?
Hi It's one of those 'must get around to some day' things... I use Konqueror as filemanager a lot. Overall it does what I need, and much of the time I get along without ever reaching for the mouse, which is good because I think I'm in danger of developing carpal-tunnel-whatchamacallit-syndrome. The majority of the instances where I *have* to use the mouse, is for right-clicking files which kde doesn't recognize, or for whatever reason konqueror wants to use a different application than I do, to open/preview. I know that I can change file-associations and all that, but it's not a 'real' solution. What I'd really prefer is just to right-click the file using the keyboard, and go from there. I've now finally gotten around to looking into the matter some more, and I'm kind of disappoimted to find... basically nothing on the subject... I've been grepping around in ~./kde, google is not finding me anything and finally bugs.kde.org doesn't seem to have anything on the subject either. Unless I'm missing something really obvious (or something really complicated), it seems as if there is no way to achieve this? I have a hard time believing I'm the first person on the planet to want this feature... Pointers anyone?

I do this with the "Menu" button, on my keyboard it's the button next to the right Ctrl button (on this Logitech keyboard it has a pic of a dropdown menu with mouse pointer on it)

Most definitely not the first :) at least on this planet, I wouldn't like to speak for other lifeforms ;)

Riiiiiight... of course. I had been looking in there, but not knowing what to look for I missed it. Thanks a lot :) /jon -- YMMV -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
