Description benjc 2003-04-28 22:03:39 UTC 
In Netbeans 3.4 running on OSX JDK 1.4.1 it was working fine where the Command-
Click and mouse Right-Click opened the submenu, and the Ctrl-click did what it's 
supposed to ... allow multiple selections, but now when Ctrl-click is used, it also 
performs the right-click action and opens the submenu ... which ofcourse is really 
annoying and gets in the way.

Please make it so Command-Click and mouse right-click open the submenu, but not 
the Ctrl key.

AFAIK, Ctrl+Click -> Right Click translation is a "feature" on MacOS.
 This  is intended to work for systems with single-button mice and is
done at the level underneath NB

I would accept that as fact, except that Netbeans 3.4.1 acts differently than 3.5 beta. In 
3.4.1 Ctrl-click does not open the menu, only Command-click, or mouse right-click 
does.

This means to me that something changed in the code between 3.4.1 and 3.5beta, 
because I have both running on my system, both with JDK 1.4.1 and they act differently 
side by side.
Comment 3 benjc 2003-05-13 22:44:13 UTC 
In 3.5 RC1 this is still not working as it did in 3.4. Why should this not be able to be 
made as it was in 3.4?

You are right. There was a change in NB 3.5. See issue #25536. NetBeans now correctly 
uses isPopupTrigger() to open  submenu. Using crtl-click is a strandard way, how to 
emulate right click in Mac OS X. You can try it in (for example) Mail.app. ctrl-click 
activates context menu and command-click allow multiple selections.
