Floating menus suck! We should be able to right click to select tools, menus...
Could you please improve Illustrator so that users can access all of the tools using the right click or middle click button (like in Maya)? It is SO much easier. Floating menus are annoying and get in the way. All tools and menus should be accessable with the mouse. This should also apply to things like the layers menu. I should be able to right click on a layer and access the layers submenu, so that I can do simple things like deleting a layer without having to drag it to the trash. Adobe really needs to take better advantage of the multi-button mouse. Speaking of which, when will somebody finally invent a 5 button mouse? If I can use all 5 fingers to type, it makes sense that I should be able to use all 5 to give greater power to my mouse.
And another thing, why can't I go to document setup to see what size my document is anymore? The new artboard features are a fine option, but most of the time I build a file at one size and therefore should be able to simple go to document setup to see what that size is.
Sounds to me like Microsoft logic: If two buttons are good, ten must be great!
No thank you. You can buy a 5-button (plus wheel…What a deal!) Microsoft mouse at any Office Depot. I have two of them turned off because they were eternally in my way. (I didn't buy the thing for a kazillion buttons; I bought it for its optical accuracy.)
But you can throw buttons at a pointing device all day long; that doesn't mean the software you use will support them the way you describe. I quite agree that Illustrator's use of cursor menus is substandard compared to most applications.

I am frustrated with the Bookmarks. I want so much to be able to right click and alphabetize the list. It's been a year and I can get my mind around the process that's there. Also I'd love for those pesky little icons to disappear. Help me please.
After the release of Firefox 29, several people noticed that after using the Customize feature, most items on the right-click menu for the Bookmarks menu on the menu bar became ''grayed out'' and unusable until you closed and started Firefox back up again. That seems to still be a problem for me in Firefox 36.0.4, so if you used Customize, that could be the explanation.
You still should be able to click and drag bookmarks around the menu even with the broken right-click context menu.
And if it's easier than restarting, the context menu still works in the Bookmarks Sidebar (Ctrl+b to open/close) and Library dialog (Ctrl+Shift+b or "Show All Bookmarks"). -

When I ran Lr 5 I was able to right click on a raw file and have it open in Lr. Upgraded to LR 6 and now longer have the option to open with Lr. Is there something I need to turn on Pc set up
This is actually based on how the site handles different file types; Hotmail gives it to the browser as "application/octet-stream" or something like it, whereas sites that properly open it in the browser tag it as "application/pdf". Unfortunately there's nothing you can do about this without setting up a proxy to rewrite the HTTP headers. Complaints to Hotmail in the past haven't worked, and it's not possible to override the behavior in Firefox.

When I get songs and put them on my itunes accout on my computer I used to be able to rename them right clicking, going to "get info" and then renaming everything I wanted like song name, album and artwork. I also use to be able to click on the song then click and hold on it and be able to rename it. But all the songs I have gotten after the last update have not been able to be renamed in any of the old ways I use to be able to. Is there any other way to rename songs because I know I can't undo updates and that seems to be whats causing it.
Thankyou for your timeYou are describing an iTunes problem, not an iPod touch problem. Try posing in the iTunes forum.

At some point in the last few months, some update has changed the behavior of triple-clicking in web forms. I have been using this method to copy data from one screen to another for years. It doesn't happen in every field, but it consistently fails in many different scenarios.
I think that by default triple-clicking should select:
* the entire contents of a single-line control
* the current paragraph in a multi-line control
If you discover a pattern, could you post a sample text that causes the problem? We then can paste it into this compose box for testing. Or if this occurs in particular forms, you could post directions to that problem field on the form so we could investigate it (assuming no login is required).
Also, if you want everything in a one-line or multi-line form control, you can use Select All. Either:
* left-click in the text, then Ctrl+a
* right-click in the text > Select All -
I cannot figure out why i cannot Mirror image.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4437
IPod doesn't mirror per se like iPad, but certain apps allow it. I use filmon for instance and the mirror icon appears when the video kicks in, but other apps such as iPlayer don't allow it. Fustrating.
Airplay does work though from iTunes.

I have searched everywhere for this. When I go to "Tools" then "Options" then "Applications" I see that Adobe Acrobat is enabled however I do not see anything on Firefox that allows me to use it to convert a web page over to a PDF.
It does not ''''convert a web page over to a PDF.''''
If you have a link to a pdf just open it as you would any other web page or link. It will open as a webpage displaying as the pdf document that it linked to.

Not Able to Right Click On Tiles After 8.1 Update
I have an HP laptop which came with Windows 8, I updated to 8.1 and just installed update 1. After update 1 installed I noticed I could no longer right click on a pinned program on my start screen to bring up the context menu. All I can do is 'check' and
'uncheck' the tiles. I know the 8.1 update has a regular context menu on the tiles now, but I have nothing at all, I can't unpin programs or anything. How can I resolve this?Hi,
I think this problem probably caused by Registry key, I tried to use Process Monitor to capther system activity while right clicking stroe app, find these two registry key most possible relate with Menu, please check it in your system:
HKCU\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\MenuPopup\
HKCR\Launcher.ImmersiveApplication\shell\open
In addition, it would be better to use Process Monitor to caputer system activity by yourself. Maybe you can find some clues.

I don't seem to be able to right click on the macbookair mousepad; how do i right click?
How do I right click with the MacBook Air using the mousepad?

Hold down the shift key
On yours it's the SHIFT key?
Out of the box, most Macs use the "fn" key in concert with the trackpad tap to perform right clicks.
On all three of my Macs, it is the fn key that is used. The shift key does nothing in regard to trackpad clicks, except It does however make all text selected to the right of the cursor. -
I used to be able to 'right click' and launch the Dictionary. Not any more
My dictionary works fine, I just can't right click on a word to get the definition / thesauraus to launch anymore.
I followed your instructions exactly. You said do TWO 'library contextual menu item' file moves. One for the system, one for the user. Its the user one was in your first sentence. Of course I couldn't find the user files, as I wrote....
Regardless I did the system library move correctly and there is still no response from the dictionary after restart.
I did find several japanese translation dictionaries (can't remember exactly where) and moved them. Still no good. -
Reader 9 - "Print" and "Open with Adobe Reader..." options are missing from the right-click menus.
Since upgrading from Reader 8 to Reader 9, Windows XP users are no longer able to right-click 1 or more PDF files from Windows Explorer and choose either "Print" or "Open with Adobe Reader...". Those options are no longer listed in the right-click menu. We have experienced this on several computers. I downgraded a PC to Reader 8, and these options re-appeared, then disappeared again when I upgraded back to Reader 9.
Could you tell me which version of Reader 9 you are installing?
Please give the exact version it is showing you from Help | About Adobe Reader. -
Strange issue with right click menus in apps
Every now and again the right click menu will stop working in applications. I won't be able to right click at all and sometimes closing and re-opening the app will work and sometimes I will need to restart the computer to fix the issue.
I am running a very simple Fluxbox and SLiM based system and only really use Chromium, Thunderbird, XChat and Gvim on a regular basis but it seems to affect all of them from time to time which suggests to me it is a system wide problem. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing this rather annoying problem?
As an aside this never effects the right click menu in Fluxbox.Issues with a massive right-click context menu have been reported as caused by Firebug, so make sure to update Firebug to the latest version.
