Text shortcut menu

[ouadji]

hello,

First, sorry for my bad English, I'll try to do my best.

If I put the cursor inside a text box, (a string constant, a formula node) and then a right-click, I open the shortcut menu of this object.

why in this case open the shortcut menu of the object, for what to do ? ...  it's useless.

If I put the cursor inside a text area, my goal is clearly to manipulate text, nothing else (it is obvious).

At this point, I don't need to open the object shortcut menu.

It would be better, with right-clic, to open a Text shortcut menu ... with Undo/Redo/Cut/Copy/Paste,etc ...

Yes, i know ... you can access to these options via the Edit menu, and via the keyboard shortcuts.

But each time, you must make go back and forth with the mouse between the middle and the top of the screen,

or leave the mouse to take the keyboard. It's not very user-friendly .

Inside a text box, when the cursor is placed, with right-clic it would be nice and much easy to have a text menu.

Like this :

I personally code with one hand on the mouse and one hand in the "gamer" position: near the left control and the ASDF keys. This lets me get to the common keyboard shortcuts (run, copy, pase, CRTL-Drag, etc) without moving my hands.

However, I believe it's part of the Microsoft Style Guide that right clicking on text boxes gives options for copy/paste/etc, so Kudos.

(Note: the other idea is newer but already has more kudos so I'm closing this one instead of that one.)
