how to raise a menu in the selector pane of the browser on windows (kinda urgent)

Hi,

I have an ASUS laptop with a "two button" track pad running Windows 10 Home Ed.

I have default preferences in the ini file:

3ButtonMouse=0

1ButtonMouse=0

I have the "Swap mouse buttons" preference enabled (which AFAIA is appropriate for a two button mouse).

I cannot find a magic key combination that raises the selector pane yellow/middle button menu, and hence cannot easily explore the method so I can investigate Chrustoph & Marcel's report of weirdness with thisContext method method in a block.

best, Eliot

Ignore me. Swap mouse buttons does not make sense on WIndows. It does make sense on Mac. This inconsistency is, um, unfortunate. I routinely use the same image on WIndows and Mac and having to change preferences to be able to use the image is broken. Cross platform implies UI usability as much as platform API abstraction.

3ButtonMouse should bei 1 by default on Windows machines. Then that preference works as expected.
