Renaming Editor Patches ??

Anyone Else,Having Problems,Renaming Patches
Within The Editor?? Right-Clicking On "EDIT", Does Nothing.

@moogyloogy I found the same problem ( and it happens with one or two other apps too). Assuming you're on a mac, like me, the workaround is a two-finger tap on the touchpad.

Would be nice if it could be fixed to be consistent with the 99% of other apps.

We don't use anything special to make the context menu appear, so it shouldn't be problematic.
I certainly never had the issue (macOS Mojave, with Mac mini and MacBook Pro), but it could be something inherent to the GUI toolkit we're using.

Please give me any detail that could help with the diagnostic: OS and version, where do you right-click, whether right-click works better in other zones (e.g., on a virtual knob, on a module title bar, on a scope).

Also, if it happens on other apps, which ones?

Thanks!

@join I'm on MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6. I'm using a trackpad (macbook pro, late 2013), so right-click is supported by ctrl-click with most apps.

Anywhere I right-click in the left hand-bar (patch selection) behaves as left click (select). So, number, name, 'edit' button, same result.

Anywhere I right-click anywhere in the app, including title bar behaves as left click (select).

The only app I can think of which I know for sure has the same behaviour is the 'transfer' app from Elektron (electron.se). There too I have to two-finger tap for rename.

but it could be something inherent to the GUI toolkit we're using.

That would be my guess. (I'm a developer, but have never coded for Microsoft/Apple GUIs)

@bibenu OK, so when you say "right-click", you are always doing a ctrl-tap/click, right?

@join Yes, that was what I was trying to explain. I'm actually pressing ctrl and clicking the trackpad. Everywhere else on the mac and in mac apps that results in the context menu popping up. It is expected/standard behaviour. But unfortunately not in your app.

It's not a biggie, once you know, to use the alternate method for context menu pop-up (it appears that Apple call this 'secondary click' in trackpad preferences). The problem is, it's really not obvious when you've been used to doing the other thing for years.

OK, we'll fix the editor so that Ctrl+LeftClick does the same as a RightClick on Mac.

I think you'll get fewer queries that way ;)

@bibenu

not doubting the issue at all, but i'm using 10.14.3 and was able to rename a patch. maybe the helps in finding the cause. maybe it doesn't....(maybe it's relevant that i'm using a trackball)

Thanks for the info @Nelson_Baboon. With your info my hypothesis is that the specific issue relates to the fact that the input system of macOS issues a "right click" when doing a right click on a mouse, trackball, or a two-finger tap on the trackpad (when the trackpad is setup for doing so), but a ctrl + "left click", which should be functionally equivalent (since it was the only way to do it in the 80's when Mac mice only had a single button), are translated as "Ctrl + left click" and not "right click". The Cocoa toolkit (and some others) handles that difference just fine and shows a context menu either way, but a few GUI toolkits (especially when they're cross-platform and the macOS version is more of an afterthought) don't. Ours, in fact, offers you both choices, but I didn't know it until the issue was reported by you guys :).
