EiffelStudio 6.0 Change
The pages under the Context Menu category describe the various context menus that EiffelStudio 6.0 will show when doing a right-click. It is a change from previous releases where EiffelStudio used the pick and drop mechanism. The pick and drop is not abandoned since the behavior of right-click is configurable and you can switch back and forth between the two at any time.
What is replacing Pick and Drop?
You can see that every tool has a different context menu. However whenever in the past you could perform a pick and drop operation, you are now getting new entries in the context menu. The first entry in the context menu is Pick as we felt it was important to let novice users know about this mechanism. If you want to start a pick and drop directly without a context menu you can do Shift+Right Click instead (we could not use Ctrl+Right Click since this is already been used by EiffelStudio).
Feedback requested
Let us know what you think about this and the way we are doing it. You can add your comments to the discussion page.
