Feature - Long right click to open the Pie #70

Closed dzid26 closed 1 month ago

Long right click to open the Pie -(instead of keyboard shortcut) - I think this is how it works in Fusion 360 and it makes sense. Is it possible?

Hi

When I first developed a macro to display commands quickly, before developing PieMenu, I tried to implement the right-click, but unfortunately Freecad already uses the right-click: right-click in the sketcher = cancels the current command or displays the context menu right-click in the 3D view displays a context menu.

This would conflict with the use of the right-click in PieMenu but I'm still thinking about it, I'll give it another try.

Some mouses have 2 extra buttons on the thumb place, maybe trying to use those button is useful.

@Grubuntu Default Freecad actions are performed on the button release. If it was possible to cancel the default action if the button was not released within a second or so, then the Pie could be opened. That was my thinking.

@hasecilu Oh, I have extra buttons on my mouse. I may use your suggestion :)

This experimental feature is now include in version 1.6 Because of the way Freecad uses the right click, this can create unexpected mouse behaviour.
