| Jan 20, 2017 at 15:35 | comment | added | Joshua Parnell | This is the exact reason why I tend to avoid Mac - things that operate one way in any other OS operate differently in macOS (or OS X, depending on which version you're using). Something like this would be easy enough to implement in Linux, if you were good with the source code. Should be plausible in Windows using C++ or another unmanaged language (I wrote an app that runs as a service to register right clicks as left clicks on icons in system tray). OS X? I don't even know if it's possible, let alone easy enough for the average end-user | |

The menu on mouse down is an intentional feature, aimed at those who click and hold then drag to the menu item, to be selected on release. | |
