Yes, but you can use Control+left click and voilà!

@amzaldua can you clarify the work around here? I did CTRL + LEFT (CMD+LEFT on macOS), and I see what looks like a GCODE menu, can you clarify how would I use it to add a pause?

[amzaldua]

Okay, on my MacBook, it would proceed as follows: First, I press and hold the Control button, move the cursor over the slicer, and then left-click with the mouse. A submenu with the pause option will appear. The slice should be positioned in the layer where you want to add a pause at the beginning.

If you do it directly with the right mouse button, it will happen exactly as you mentioned: when you press the right button, the bar moves from the layer where you want to insert the pause. It's as you said; they need to make it simpler. However, doing it this way, reminiscent of the old school when Macs came with a single button, works fine.

I also had to deal with this matter until I found the solution. I apologize if I didn't explain myself correctly at the beginning.

I found using two finger right click on the trackpad to add a layer pause was impossible to do accurately with my MacBook. Long ago I started doing Ctrl + click for right click add pause function and never looked back. I know not a true fix and it shouldn't be as sensative as it is but I wonder if it is just a problem two finger right click?

Thank you for your feedback! We're considering a solution.

Yep, thanks for the solution with control. With prints with many layers, this was a nightmare. I would love a keyboard shortcut for this. It is something I could look at contributing myself, if you are all open to contributions?
