Click for Fill Color, Right Click for Stroke Color

I'm constantly adding my intended Fill Color to my Strokes and vice versa.
It's often laborious to manage which is active, Fill or Stroke when selecting colors from Swatches.
I just noticed that Right Clicking on a Swatch doesn't do anything, so there's nothing to stop Illustrator from getting a quicker, easier, sexier way to apply color to Fills or Strokes.
Regardless of which is the active attribute in the Tools Panel, simply clicking a Swatch would assign the color to the selected object's Fill.
And Right Clicking would assign the swatch color to its Stroke.
Yah?
That's how it works in Corel DRAW and coloring things were sooo much easier back when I used it.
Wouldn't it be simple to add a Preference to choose between the traditional behavior and this new one?

Do not you miss it first.
This idea was reported many times, even a few years ago on this forum.
Ai adopts with great difficulty and obvious improvements have already discovered.
I understand the search for his own good idea but I do not understand why I have square wheels when the world no longer revolves on the wheel?
For me a good idea to apperance palette. I hoped that it will be improved in the CS5 to copy features such as single apperance. But none of that.
Adobe has long could provide a mechanism to notify the idea and the opportunity to vote for him in order to predict the most needed solution.
But for some reason do not do this and people are discouraged.

I just do not know which way to go illustrator. I was very discouraged to invest and Ai.
I was very discouraged to invest and Ai. I do not know whether the moment does not appear in another completely new applications. I hope that it will be New Ai.

  • When i connect i5 to itunes .. i dont get "delete" option for songs upon right click .. can anyone help me with this plz?

    when i connect i5 to itunes .. i dont get "delete" option for songs upon right click .. can anyone help me with this plz?

    Yes, annoying. A couple of options:
    While it's playing the current A song, click on the H song to select it (but not double click to play it), when iTunes jumps to the second A song, press the down key and iTunes will remember that you had that H song selected and will move the selection to the second H song while the second A song is still playing. So, still jumps around, but easy to get back to where you were.
    Create a new playlist for your music, right click on it, select "New Window" and you can browse your music in a second list while the first window continues to play music. But if you then start playing music in that second window, you have to go back to the first window if you want to start browsing again. Not great if you're navigating around to play the next song.
    Play music from iTunes DJ, then as you're browsing around your library, you can add things to play next in DJ, and go back. You can combine this with previous suggestion, to keep DJ open in one window while you browser in the other window.
    None of these are great, but maybe one of these works better than your current workflow.

  • Is there a fix for the touchpad right click???

    It is probably an intern engineering failure but the touchpad on my brand new notebook is complete junk.
    I disabled every possible feature, uninstalled all the HP bloatware and STILL I have to click a gazzilion times in the far right corner of the touchpad to achieve a valid right-click.
    I don't know how an engineering crew could fail this bad, but they completely phucked up on this one.

  • I can't left click to select or right click for menus. This works in IE, what do I need to do to get this to work in firefox?

    I don't understand why this doesn't work. My OS is vista. The right click for menus stopped working several months ago, so I have been using IE when I need that. The left click to select stopped working 2 days ago. So now firefox is unusable unless I can figure out why it is doing this.

    -> click Firefox button and click Exit
    -> Start Firefox in Safe Mode (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    -> Firefox Safe Mode window will open. DON'T SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click Continue in Safe Mode
    Check and tell if its working while you are in Safe Mode.

  • Why can't I use menus for bookmarks after right-clicking?

    When opening the bookmarks menu (from Menu Bar), and right clicking on a bookmark, all the choices are shown in light grey color, and I can't click anything of it. Why doesn't this work?

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
    You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''
    If not, see this: <br />

  • I can't open a new tab when I right click the refresh button; same goes when I click on History and right click a past site. How do I fix it?

    It happened after Mozilla Firefox's plugin crashed. Whenever I tried right clicking the refresh button or a page in History, it no longer prompted me to "open in a new page." Instead, the box showing the menu bar, navigation bar, etc. showed up. How do I change it back?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Magic Mouse stops clicking randomly: need to right click desktop few times.

    For some reason, randomly, my Magic Mouse will stop clicking/registering clicks (left or right/anything but movement) and I'll have to right click on the desktop 1-2 times for it to "come back to life"...it's very strange. I've tried readding it, etc. to no avail...?

    I ended up here after experiencing the same problem (seemingly random and intermittent inability to scroll with Magic Mouse or trackpad when using Firefox) and searching Mozilla and Apple support forums. There are a few separate reports in both communities that refer to the issue seeming to exist only when using Firefox with a Magic Mouse. There are, of course, other threads that don't have that specific combination, but the original post is not a unique occurrence.
    In my own case, I am experiencing this problem on two MacBook Pros. I did not have this problem until recently. Also recently I bought a Magic Mouse but have no idea how significant that is (the trackpad also becomes unresponsive on both machines). It does seem unlikely to be coincidence, but still could be, of course. Like most people now, I guess, I gave up manual updating of Firefox a while ago to spare myself the constant reminders and so I don't know what version exactly I had when this started but it is now 31.0 (although Firefox is just waiting for me to quit in order to update to 32.0).
    If I quit and reopen Firefox, all is well for a while but then the problem returns. I can still scroll by dragging the scroller in the scroll bar (thankfully not completely gone, as yet) and appreciate the comment about using the up arrow and down arrow keys, which I hadn't thought to do. It seemed to be only one of my MacBooks for a few days, but now seems to be both. Somewhat bizarrely, while concluding this post, Firefox on both computers has resumed scrolling without, as far as I can recall, a restart. I'll aim to give an update after a day or two (as so many final posts say...)

  • I am unable to "open link behind mail" using Mac Mail now. It used to work fine, and just clicking works but not right clicking to open behind mail. Please help

    This used to work on my Mac using Firefox and Mac Mail but now it doesn't. Opening regular links are unaffected. I can still click and open easily. This only happens when I try to use the feature, to open links behind mail. When I right click nothing happens. Nothing is opened.

    Hi GetPaulHoward,
    Thank you for posting your question to the SUMO support forum, however I am not sure this pretains to Mozilla. There is a help forum you can contact at Apple.

  • Touchpad left click button works as right click

    Hello All,
    I have this laptop for few yrs now, I have tried to find out a resolution to this issue without success for really long time. I think now I am getting out of patience and need some ones help with this.
    Problem is touch pads left button would work as right click and bring up the context menu.
    I have gone into Control Panel>Mouse and played around with the settings.
    I saw a setting there where I had option to select [Right-handed] or [Left-handed] Whatever I do, it always remains as left handed and right click stays as if it is a left handed setting.
    I have updated the drive. Currently installed
    Driver Version : 17.0.19.0
    Driver Date : 17/10/2013
    Issue is this behavior is not consistent, randomly it decides to work as intended (left click would be left click and right click would popup context/properties menu) and other times it bombs miserable its extremely annoying to suffer this when I have to work on laptop for extended period of hours as it just keeps on happening. Can some one pls help?
    Thanks in advance for taking time to read this

    Hi there:
    A suggestion -
    Do a hard reset first.
    Power on laptop with AC power alone , removing battery.
    Then try reloading BIOS to default settings
    Save, exit, continue loading Windows.
    Shut down.
    Insert battery, power on with both plugged.
    Check.

  • Alt shortcuts not working for alt-left/right or for é, í etc

    Hi guys,
    I've had this problem for a while now… Essentially, the issue lies in the alt-shortcuts for left and right where one is usualy able to 'word jump', and the creation of accented characters like é and í using the alt-e shortcut. All other alt functions appear to work fine for the moment. The alt-left/right shortcut still works when shift is held down, and highlights all the characters that have been passed over, as it should. The output for alt-e is completely blank, and the alt-left/right output is nothing, unless shift is also held.
    I have a British English MacBook Air keyboard on Mountain Lion, and I have set it to that layout, and I regularly switch between this and greek for scientific formulæ. I've fiddled around with language and input settings trying to get it to work again to no avail, and there are no shortcuts programmed to that to my knowledge. I have checked on a guest account and it seems to be account specific. Ideally I'd like to keep this account without migrating everything over - does anyone have any ideas with regards to how to track down where the problem is?
    Thanks in advance to any responses!

    If only alt + e is not working, double check system preferences/speech to make sure it has not been set as a trigger for text to speech or speech recognition or whatever.

  • Every click registers as a right click?

    I have a MacBook Air Mid-2011 and have a problem.  Every time that I try to click the computer is registering it as a right click.  I restarted my computer but no good and now my keyboard is not registering letters and only some commands.  Please help me.

    This answer is a few months on from the original post - but I had the same issue and have created this work-a-round (it's not a fix):
    Create a shortcut link to the main.cpl file (no path required) and put this shortcut in the startup folder within the user's windows citrix client.  This means that the mouse 'Switch primary and secondary buttons' is the first dialog box to pop up whenever the user logs on to citrix.
    From an ipad the user can then call up the citrix keyboard when the dialog is displayed during logon and press the 'space bar' to change the mouse setting.  If the box is checked, and the user selects the spacebar from the citrix virtual keyboard to uncheck the box, then the ipad taps should work correctly from that point onward during that session.
    The two downsides to this are:
    The user will have to go through this process whenever they log on to citrix
    It only works if the user is accessing their ‘desktop’ app in citrix (won't work if opening a direct outlook link etc)
