| I don't know if this has been suggested. Maybe you can add some commands to the IDE right click menu. I find it very convenient to right click in the IDE to do some functions, like swapping the cpp and h files. Inserting code templates on a right click would be a good addition too. |

| Thanks... the shift + right-click doesn't work for me. I just get a momentary menu flash. |

Our problem is we cannot reproduce the problem. Sigh.
What keyboard mapping scheme do you use? Tools|Options|Environment|Keyboard
Is VAssistX.OpenContextMenu assigned to any shortcut key? Default is none, and VA X steals the Shift+RMB if it is not assigned to anything else. |

Keyboard mapping is default settings
No shortcut assigned to VAssistX.OpenContextMenu. The only change I made to that is to assign a shortcut to InsertCodeTemplate. |

no problems with this for me.
waday, do you get this flash where ever you right click? eg only a problem when right clicking in the selection margin. or is it all over the code window?
are you running any utilities that might want to grab right clicks? i am grasping at straws to be honest, but presumably there is something different about your system *sigh* |

Thanks feline. I am thinking that this is the wrong forum for this discussion. But to answer your question. Only when I shift + right click anywhere. No utilites that are running that might capture the mouse clicks. No other problems that I know of.
Not really all that big of a deal for me. I am more likely to use the right click menu or a shortcut over the shift + right click. Just wanted to get that suggestion out there and didn't mean to start a bug report.... |

It might be "no big deal" for you, but it might be for others, and it surely is for us... 
So you never really saw the "Enhanced VAX Shortcut-Menu", right?
I tend to believe so because you mention something that already is in the enhanced shortcut menu:
Inserting code templates sits exactly there.
As feline pointed out: There has to be someting different between your and our setup.
I still cannot reproduce the "flashing shortcut menu".
Does the VS shortcut-menu (simple rightclick) work?
Or does it vanish also?

Like I responded in http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2543, the VAX menu does indeed popup for a split second. Sometimes it's so fast that you can't see it but most times I am able to get a glimpse of VAX specific menus.
As for the VS right click, yes, that one does work correctly.
The thing that is funny though, is that regardless of whether the selection margin is visible or not, if you right click at the far left of the code window, then the VAX extended menu pops up.
My question is this: Why bother trying to fix a difficult to reproduce (and debug) problem when there is a simple alternative? |

waday, does this work for you? my reading of your post is that it does not, but if it does for rblondeau...
rblondeau, as for why, i get the impression this doesnt work for waday. |

I understand completely. My point is that this is not the right forum to be discussing this, in my opinion....
But, it's your show...
Nope. The menu would appear for just a split second and then disappear. Almost as if something else was stealing focus. Not that that's what it is, but that's what it seemed like it was doing.
The VS menu works correctly.
Now.... for the real kick in the teeth.... yesterday, it wasn't working. Today it *is* working for me. I swear I didn't change anything. I haven't even rebooted. So now I can't even reproduce the issue. How embarassing Now I am even more perplexed. Why it didn't work in the first place and then suddenly started working....
