Hi everyone,

I created a simple but I think very functional little script. It allows you to add extra functionality to your RIGHT mouse button.

a) Double click with it to bring up the function of your choice. We all double click with the left button. why not with the right too? I used it to click a link to open it into a new IE window and minimize it.

b) Press and hold. Hold down your right mouse button for 1 sec for yet another function. I use it to open a new compose window in my email.

If you just click it once as usual, you get the right mouse menu as usual.

Here it is (edit as you like): Its part of my autohotkey.ini file.

Thank you for sharing.
PS.: you should use the CODE tags around your script. It will be easier to read, keeping the right indentations.

Unfortunately, even with perfect implementation, right press-and-hold interferes with the right-drag function, but as it is, even right-double-click prevents right-dragging, which was very useful, when creating shortcuts, zipping files, etc.

I know there's anywhere in the registry the doubleclick time. Does somebody knows where? It could replace the 200 ms. Wink

It is surprising it isn't in the SysGet list...

Doesn't seem to work. Right clicking once frist time after reloading the script, a "right button hold" is detected. Afterwards, even if I click only once, a double click is detected. Same if I hold: a double click is detected.

If I change RightButton?double_click@threshold to 800, it doesnt change the behaviour.

If you only want to use double right-click, it is much simpler. I use the following script to pop up a menu with my personal data I have to enter often into fields on Web forms, but you can use it for anything else. It does not affect right-dragging.

@shimanov
Windows XP SP2, AHK 1.0.42.03, specifically downloaded the latest version to try. No luck though.

i had the same problem you had. Did you put the script in the ini file? if so try making the script run separate as a single script i hope it does the trick!

wow, I didnt expect to see much of a response to this little script - Needless to say I'm very happy that some folks found it useful!
I thnk all mice should be shipping with right-click customization options built into the mouse's software!

AHKPNH: copy-paste - NICE!

Regarding LASZLO's note about interference with right-drag function; I never thought of that since I never use right-drag! I'm guessing most people dont use right-drag... But for those that do, SHIMANOV's script is pretty brilliant! I havent tried it but it looks fine to me...
