Friedrich,

When I'm using the script editor out of habit I'm always pressing the
context menu key and then having to use my mouse to right click a line
to activate the menu. Would you consider activating the context menu
key [AppsKey, 5Dh or 93] on the keyboard?

Actually that behavior on EVERY window, and frame, that supports right
click would be greatly appreciated.

It's all about the dot releases... but be very careful around those
1's, my friend, very careful indeed!<g>

I have never ever in my life used this key. I had to Google to find out
what a "context menu key" is <g>. And what a surprise, this key *is* on my
keyboard ;-)

I'll see what I can do.

Have you checked that it never works? It is a normal response to
WM_CONTEXTMENU. Maybe a change from WM_RBUTTON to WM_CONTEXTMENU will
do everything needed. The problem then is getting to do nothing when
its not needed:)

Yes, I played with it today and noticed that it already works (by default)
in all standard controls.
