Customizable context menu

Status: Declined

Declined for reasons listed in AristosQueue's reply

hello forum

 

thanks NI for the new features in LabVIEW 2019, so far I am liking most of the things you have done; except for that 1 item, context menu change

 

Why change the context menu (on right-clicking wires)?

2010-2018 1..3: clean up wire, create wire branch, delete wire branch (7.1...7.3: create constant, create control, create indicator)

2019 1..3: create constant, create control, create indicator (4..6: clean up wire, create wire branch, delete wire branch)

 

surely NI have reasons, but can try implementing a customizable context menu as a feature instead? I used to be able to write or edit my codes with muscle memory, but now I spend more time undoing things... Smiley Indifferent

 

maybe the next patch? Smiley Wink

I am in same boat as CY, have multiple versions of LV to use and this change is making LV 2019 less efficient.  If anything was to change making this a customizable setting would be far preferable than just breaking long established behavior.

If you're working with multiple LabVIEW versions, I suggest installing this right-click plugin, which will add the Create Constant/Control/Indicator items to the top of your right-click menus for wires and terminals in LV 2015-2018.
