Description Andres Betts 2020-11-17 16:04:54 UTC

SUMMARY

Right click menu items are currently only offered through right click menu and individual menu buttons placed in the toolbar. It would help users if Dolphin integrated a toolbar button that contains the same right-click menu items as the right click menu accessible through the mouse. That way, if there is no mouse input, the user can still manage to work with files and folders. It also works when there are touch only inputs in a more direct way without having to remember gestures for right click menu.

MacOS Finder has this feature in the form of an "Actions" button on the toolbar which shows the items from the context menu when clicked.

It indeed does. Yes. I hadn't noticed until after I did my ux review. I think it's helpful and not just fluff. Thanks for reviewing.
