Can we have activate pane on right mouse button down? It currently works for left button but not right button. Reason this is useful is because I use a mouse gesture program and I made gestures for switching tabs. The gestures are drawn using the right mouse button. But currently, I have to manually click to change pane before I can use the gesture on the desired pane. So making activate pane on right mouse button down should solve the problem.

Works here.

but problem is currently the pane doesn't activate until i release the right mouse button...

Works here as well.

What software are you using for gestures? StrokeIt?

for me, an inactive pane doesn't activate with the right mouse button until i release the button--which is a problem for using gestures. yes, im using strokeit.

StrokeIt is eating that event down so that it doesn't trigger in the application and you can draw your gesture. If you enable "Gesture timeout after" in the preferences, right-click down, and wait until the gesture times out the right-click down will then get sent to XY but of course now you cannot draw your gesture.

The only way to get around this is to give your gesture's action two commands, the first of which performs a "click" to activate the pane.

In the free version of StrokeIt that's easier said than done (the pro version has commands to send mouse clicks), but you can achieve it by either calling a separate program to do the click (AutoHotkey would work well here) or determining what Window message needs to be Posted/Sent to XYplorer to trigger the event.

strokeit doesn't eat the right click down. i've tried it in another program before and both the right click and strokeit gets detected.
