Right click select all?

Hi, Is there an easy way to add a select all command to the contextual menu when you right click/ctrl click in the finder?
I've tried some v complex apps & had no success.. Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
There is a free utility called, OnMyCommand which can do this...

There's also the ⌘ -a keystroke.

Allow right-click selection in a JTree

Hi everybody! How are today? Fine? I hope so.
I've got a little question about JTrees: i want to put a right-click popup menu on my JTree, which may not be the same depending on which node of the tree is selected.
My problem is that i must do a left click selection of the node before doing the right click in order that this one may be effective and correct (i.e the correct popup menu appears).
So, i want to allow the right click selection in my JTree to select the node and to perform the action linked to the Popup menu.
I will be very thankfull if someone could help me :)

Sorry to post twice, but just thought i'd post the code to show you what I mean (forgive me not making this entirely generic):
///// Some "global" variables:
     private JPopupMenu               stPopupMenu;
     private TreePath               stPath;
     private String                    stPathComponent;
     private int                         stCount;
     private Object                    selectedNode;
///// Attaching the listeners:
symbolTreeDisplay.addTreeSelectionListener(stHandler);
symbolTreeDisplay.addMouseListener(stHandler);
//// The event listener class:
     private class SymbolTreeHandler extends MouseAdapter implements
               TreeSelectionListener
          public void mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent event)
               try
                    if (event.getModifiers() == event.BUTTON3_MASK)
                    {//right button click on mouse
                         stPopupMenu = new JPopupMenu();
                         // add your logic here, based on selectedNode to add items to the menu
                         stPopupMenu.show(symbolTreeDisplay, event.getX(), event
                                   .getY());
               catch (Exception e)
          public void valueChanged(TreeSelectionEvent aTreeEvent)
               try
                    stPath = aTreeEvent.getPath();
                    stCount = stPath.getPathCount();
                    selectedNode = stPath.getPathComponent(stCount - 1);
               catch (Exception e)
     }

Double click select all does not work in web site's search area after going back.

After updating from Firefox ESR v24.8.1 to v31.20 double click select all does not work in a search area after going back or searching again with the same input. It happens before clicking search icon and searching for something else double click select all does not work except it works for one word that's all.
This issue is with all new Firefox ESR and None ESR I have tried. Also the issue is on all web sites like www.softpedia.com for example.

Bugzilla has a different login system, unfortunately.

Removing 1 effect when right click, not all?

If I select 4 or 5 clips and right click in Adobe Premiere. I can remove effects. but sometimes I only want to remove, lets say 1 effect and keep the rest. But It seems I always have to remove them all? adobe you should make a feature that lets you click on the effect you want to remove. Or is this even possible to work around?
thanks,
Justin Morgan

Sorry this is not possible at this time but I've seen multiple users desiring this behavior. Please add your feature request here:

Stopping right click selecting tab in JTabbedPane

Hello all,
This may be a really simple thing + I'm probably being thick, but is there a way to prevent a right click changing the selected tab on a JTabbedPane.
I tried consuming the MouseEvent, but that didn't seem to work. Couldn't find an answer anywhere else in the forums & couldn't see anything in the JavaDoc that looked as if it would help.
Answers on a postcard please......
RT

You might be able to extend JTabbedPane and override setSelectedIndex().
I had to do this to work around a focus issue I had.
This class extends JTabbedPane to correct a problem where it doesn't
request focus when clicked on.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class MyJTabbedPane extends JTabbedPane {
public void setSelectedIndex(int index) {
    Component comp = KeyboardFocusManager.
        getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().getFocusOwner();
    // if no tabs are selected
    // -OR- the current focus owner is me
    // -OR- I request focus from another component and get it
    // then proceed with the tab switch
    boolean noTabSelected = getSelectedIndex()==-1;
    boolean hasFocus = requestFocus(false);
    boolean compIsMe = comp==this;
    if(noTabSelected || hasFocus || compIsMe) {
      super.setSelectedIndex(index);
}

Disable right click for all users in a certain group

I would like to disable the right click function for all users in a particular group, regardless of which computer is the domain they log in to. Is there any way to do this? Thanks.

1. Create a new group policy and link it to the OU with the users you want to be affected.
2. Edit the new policy - In the left pane navigate to:
User Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Windows Components \ Windows Explorer
3. Enable the setting Remove Windows Explorer's Default Context Menu.
Please let me know if you succeeded.
Regards, Liran.

Right click select node in tree (for a standalone Air app)?

For the sake of userfriendliness (in regard to a context menu) I wold like to "move" the selected node in a tree to the node that currently has the focus when right clicking it - like how the context menu access in windows file explorer works (focus and selected item are always the same when right clicking).
In worst case scenario I would like to disable a created context menu if the selected node and the node that currently has the focus are not the same).
Now users can get confused when right clicking to access my context menu, in the tree structure, if the selected node and the node they are currently hovering over (and thus are in focus) are different.
I was thinking of finding which node currently has the focus and then making that node the selected node - but I cant get it to work:-).
Please, help a beginner.

Right click selection issue

I am using HP Laptop with window 8.1.
The right click button on the keyboard is not available so till the time I was using mouse for the right click.
Now I install Hotkeys software & configure right Alt button of the keyboard as a right click button.
It is working fine means whenever I clicked on the right Alt it is working as a right click, this is helpful in excel specially.
But after this I am facing a new issue, this issue is when I using excel or word.
When I move the cursor & select any cell with the mouse & then click on right alt it work properly.
But after the selection from the mouse if I change the location by using arrow keys of the keyboard the location get changed but after changing the selection when I click on right Alt button the right click options open for the cell which was selected by
the mouse.
Hope it is clear.
Example- If I select A5 location in excel by mouse & then goes right with keyboard right click on C5 location, the selection goes to the desired location, but if now I click on right Alt to open the options the cursor automatically opened the properties
of A5 instead of C5.
Here I clicked by mouse on A5 & moves to C5 by keyboard.
Please help.
This is not an issue of scroll lock.

Bug in right click selection in reports

Build 22.71, on Linux and Windows.
When I go to, for example, the sessions report, and right click on a row which I want to invoke a trace session command on, the whole column where I right clicked get selected, so it does not correctly indicate to the user which session will have trace enabled on.

Add mouselistener:
MouseListener ml = new MouseAdapter() {
      public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
         if (SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton(e)) {
           doSomething();
      }//mousePressed
      public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
        if (SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton(e)) {
          doSometing();
      }//mouseReleased
    };//mouseListener
    myList.addMouseListener(ml);

Right-click/select on trackpad not working

Hi
Basically the "right click" option on my trackpad has stopped working, I can't highlight sections of text or images, can't click and drag any items and can't resize windows or images. I'm going crazy does anyone know what's wrong? I called Apple and they didn't really help with anything, I've reset my preferences to default but no luck!
I can scroll with two/three/four fingers fine it's just when I want to click with two that nothing happens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Alyssa

01/04/14 Update: I've updated all SW (BIOS, UltraNav Driver and Utility, latest Win7 updates) but right button still won't work. Ran the PC Doctor diags for the UltraNav and it shows the right button highlighted constantly (as opposed to it blinking on/off when button is processed like the the left button does).

Right Clicking closes all apps....?

It seems like a bug/error.. but lately, some of the times when i right click a file, folder, or just the desktop, all the apps i have open, just close/dissappear and i cannot seem to figure out why.
is this a known bug with Tiger?
also, how come some of the times when OS X locks up on me and I reboot, my settings are reset?

Right clicking selection gives nothing

So to make this short, I can use the pen tool to create a shape, then by right clicking it I can decide what I want to do with it. When I click "Make selection" I've selected the shape, but when I right click it again in order to find out what I want to do with that shape, it doesn't let me do anything. Everything grayed out. Normally I'd have the option to copy to layer or copy to cut but nothing.
Looks like this

I can see that you have made a shape with the Pen tool. You have right clicked and cosen Selection, but you must have specified a high Feather value because the selection only covers a small part of the shape, (the matching ants indicate 50% opacity).
From there, you would take other routes to achieve what you mention. Ctrl j would copt the selection to a new layer, for instance, but that layer will have a heavily feathered outline. You should still have some options if you right click again, but useful as right clicking can be, it doesn't cover everything.

20.0.1 Update: right-click on page shows ALL menu options, many (all?) don't work, no "view page source", no "open in new tab"

after update to 20.0.1 a few hours ago, right click shows ALL menu options, many (all?) don't work, like "view page source", "open in new tab" etc. etc.

I'm having the same issue on Firebug 1.11.3....The "more robust" right click menu does return when I disable the extension. Would you recommend downgrading Firebug to 1.11.2? Hate to have to turn off Firebug "except when I'm working" but either option seems to have both pros/cons.
This behavior happens on both PC and Mac (although the above information was tested on my PC - I'll have to check the Mac later and see if Firebug is doing the same thing there. I believe I have the most recent Firebug there, too)
The PC is on Firefox 20.0.1, Mac should be as well.
Thanks
