Does anyone use the hold-right-button-while-click-left on the
desktop? Well I certainly use it a lot when copying files
accross and not wanting to swap top windows!
IMHO, Holding down the right mouse button is pretty natural. You
can't (as far as I know) stop a left click from topping a window
in older TOSes anyway, so you must have hold right and then click left, or
simply click right. Since I like the idea that LEFT IS SELECT, I'm not a
great fan of using the right mouse button instead.
The idea of topping a window only if the left-click doesn't hit a button or
edit item is quite appealing but surely not available in older TOSes. I
think we should avoid having different behavious on different machines.
JMHO!
