RightClick-Triggered from mouse

just a suggestion

from WinCustomize Forums
Well I really like having the hot key so I can use the rightclick menu other places besides the desktop. But I would also like to have it so the rightclick menu can be opened by the mouse, like rightclicking and dragin the mouse in a circle, ya know? Of course it would let you set how it would open and stuff. I just think being able to use the mouse would make it much easier to you because you use the mouse to navigate through the menu, so why can't you use the mouse to open it, instead of having to keep switching between the keyboard and mouse. Unless there already is someway to do this, or im posting in the completely from place...Now I know there are programs that let you open things from a mouse gesture, but I think it just opens the richclick options if you point it to the exe, so I don't know if that would work.

To get the current version of RC to just 'run' without opening the settings dialog, you need to call it with a commandline switch: "rightclick.exe -startup". If you set your mouse-gesture app to run RC like this it should work.

Seems a lot more complex that just rightclicking the desktop ?

I tried that, then realized thats not what I want, I want it to open the rightclick menu, like what opens when you rightclick, but instead from the mouse gesture thing so I can do it other places besides the desktop. Sorry I wasnt so clear.

OK, sorry, I misunderstood.

One other option that comes to mind is the 'Windows' key on the keyboard.

If your mouse-gesture app can simulate keystrokes - or you can get one that does - then this may be a workaround?

yea its weird, it saves half of my settings lol, then when I add a popup, it saves it in the directory and all, but when it reloads the link to the popup is gone and I have no way to add the saved one in without remaking it. The clock and the "various function items" disapear too.
