style guide recommends popup --> WONTFIX Fair enough, although I would like to know if there is some way around the tedium. Is there a modifier key that will make the drop action paste directly? I was in the progress of adding the same bugreport again and would like to support Len Trigg. This behavior is annoying. Thing about: Pasting a text with the middle-mouse-button does the same thing to konsole (inserting text) but does not pop up a menu. The "cp", ... entries are alibientries which will never be used, they can be remove. I also think it is perfectly annoying to have a popup each single time I drag&drop a file. It would be a major advantage do let it have configured. Everything else can be configured in KDE, things like single/double click for opening files or if I want to have a bumping cursor icon (!) as activity sign. That's all fine, but keeping things just because of "style guides"? Style guides are made for users, not users for style guides. It should be none of a problem to implement a config dialog into kcontrol to have the options which are displayed per popup - just o select it as defult behaviour - IF YOU WANT. I think KDE is a great Desktop - but somt things are just weird: you are sometimes overwhelmed by stupid configurability functions - ant on the other hand are annoyed by a popup everytime you drop something by mouse... Will fix this in KDE 4. Fixed in KDE 4. Commit #707519 I'm one user which need that popup. On the initial report it is proposed to use a key modifier. The commit #707519 (from the changelog) has simply removed the popup. Why not enabling it with a key modifier OR with a settings on the profile configuration? See bug #160583: some year later this feature has been requested. I also would love to get my menu back (no pun...) In (my) real life, 99% of konsole drops are for cd. I then have to move the cursor to the linestart and type "cd " ; no big deal, but still a regression. As suggested in the initial report, using a key modifier would allow to have it back without interfering with the initial wish. |
