- The right-click context menu needs a *lot* of attention. With the dialog menu being moved to other menus (which is a great improvement), I found that I kept wishing to have various things available from the context menu.
True, this is because this is one of the few UI element that I never touched :) and that is because I never use it. Whoever wants to improve it, go ahead, this should not be difficult.
Is there a simple command that will tell me what "sort" of object the mouse is on? For the right-click to be useful, it should sense at least 2 things:
- what "mode" the mouse is in (selector, rectangle, text, etc) - what object is under the mouse. (and notice "multiple selections")
Is there an enum of object types anywhere? At least the sense of object vs stroke?
Also, should the menu be long or deep? For example, if multiple items are selected, the set of boolean operations should be included, but that would make the top-level menu very long. A different way would be to make a separate "boolean" submenu... thoughts?
