Expand column on middle click

Post by Evolve »

In order to expand a column in the list you have to move the cursor to it's end and double click when it's form has changed
Problems:
1. I sometimes forget if it's the end or the beginning

2. It's hard with the last column due to window resizing

Suggestion:
Make it expand on a single mouse-wheel click(middle click)

Or maybe even make a separate custom event (on middle click), so that one could choose something different, for instance, hide the column or insert a new column on the left of the one you middle-clicked on, cause currently it always shows up as the first column and you have to then drag it manually.
PS: Wow, I just found out that if I hold ctrl and then click RMB there is an extra menu with all that good stuff (add/hide columns).

Easy to remember: It's on the separator that will move, and that's always the right one, the end.

Don't like the middle click idea, but I will add "Autosize Column" to that Ctrl+RMB menu.

Code: Select all

v23.30.0207 - 2022-07-25 09:46
    + List | Column Headers | Ctrl+Right-Click Menu: Added command "Autosize Column". 
...
      Note that the menu can be opened one-handedly using the [b]"rocker-click" 
      (Left-Mouse-Down + Right-Mouse-Click).
This "rocker-click" is cool, I noticed it does not work on Size column for some reason.
PS: Doesn't seem to work for tree elements and status bar as well.
