IE, and (I think) Netscape Navigator/Communicator have long supported Cmd-Click
as well as Ctrl-Click to pop up contextual menus. I personally depend on this a
lot, because I have a Kinesis split ergnomic keyboard, and an Alps Glidepoint
trackpad in the middle. On this keyboard, the Ctrl key is directly below where
my wrist is when using the trackpad, making Ctrl-Click rather a pain in the butt
to pull off. (If Netscape doesn't do this, too, it should in my opinion. I've
only been using IE for about the last year and half because its faster and more
stable on my s

Minor clarification: By Cmd-Click, I mean Cmd-Click-and-hold.
Cmd-Click-and-release shouldn't do anything except on a link (in which case it
should open it in a new window. This is not happening yet as of M15 or M16

ok, cmd-click-hold is no different than click and hold, therefore this bug is
just a dupe of the click-hold bug.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. IE (and Netscape I think) support
Cmd-Click *on items* like links or images, to get context-specific menus ("Copy
this image", "Add link to favorites", etc.) Yes, it doesn't work if you just
Cmd-click on whitespace or something. You do have to use Ctrl-Click for that.
Anyway, the point being that it'd be very very very nice to have this IE (and
NS?) functionality in Mozilla. This is distinct from the Cmd-Click-release
action on any linked item, which loads it in a new window.
PS: I'm not sure what you mean by Cmd-Click-hold is the same as Click-hold (I'm
not a big fan of Click-hold myself, since you have to wait a second or so, and
Cmd-Click-hold, like Ctrl-Click-hold (or Ctrl-Click-release? Not sure I don't
use the Ctrl key and the mouse at the same time very much!) is instant, or
should be. I guess you mean it's the "same" in the sense of the difficulty of
building the functionality in?
Anyway, I'm not meaning to go on and on about this, just wanted to be more
clear/specific.
PPS: "UE?" didn't compute. :) If it's a reference to a RSI, mine's just
tendonitis, very pre-CTS, but irritating nonetheless, making the keyboard m
