It would be nice if you could add additional mouse hotkeys such as:

LmouseTitleBar ::
RmouseMenuBar::
Mmouse VerticalScrollBar::

and so forth.

Thats a feature I've used in macexp.

Interesting idea. I was thinking of adding something that allows detection of which window and/or control the mouse is currently hovering over. This might allow you do make your mouse buttons context sensitive the way you describe.

One feature of interest was added in v1.0.12: "Improved MouseGetPos to optionally retrieve the unique ID number of the window under the mouse cursor. This ID number can be used in the WinTitle parameter of all windowing commands by preceding it with the string ahk_id."

However, it doesn't seem like the above would be needed in your example, since if you right click on an Opera window, it should be active, which in turn should allow MouseGetPos to report the cursor's coordinates relative to that window. If the coordinates are in the menu area, maybe that's all that's needed.

But to make it more exact, maybe it would be best to improve MouseGetPos so that it can also retrieve the name of the control under the mouse cursor, even if that control is in an inactive window. I think this is an easy change so will try to get it in the next release. Thanks for the idea.

The titlebar one would be great for window rolling and whatnot.

You could try using ControlGetPos to get the control's position, and then mouse-clicking at an offset from that position (if the column is always the same x & y distance from its control's upper left corner).

I'll try it.

Well, I've to apologize. It came up that it makes sense to check which release you're working with before requesting an additional command (I used the "historic" 1.0.12 on my NoBo while working with another release on the server ) Thx for your support.
