Right-click without changing cursor position

[calamari]

Hi,

Is it possible to set up TextPad to be able to right click the document without changing the cursor position? I have the habit of right clicking the document to access the Paste option, so my pastes end up all over the place.

Thanks,
calamari

I'm sorry, but it isn't possible to change the behaviour of the cursor when you right click in a document. TextPad behaves in the same way as the standard Microsoft applications.

The context menu key could be a solution - pressing it does not change cursor position...

I beg to differ. Click Start > Run, type in notepad, Hit OK. Type a few lines of gibberish, then right click in the middle of it. The cursor position will not change. Push Esc to exit the context menu (or Copy, or Paste). The cursor position will not change.

That's why he said *standard* Microsoft applications, which Notepad is definitely not ;-). Word and Wordpad work as described.

pressing SHIFT+F10 is similar to right-clicking
