Disabling Right-Click Menus in v5.8.0

autodeskguest

Is there a way to disable the right-click context menus in v5.8.0?  I have

just switched from v4.16, and have gotten used to being able to simply

right-click to perform actions on a group without the additional click in

this new context menu.  This makes accurately moving groups of parts

difficult, as the group snaps to where your mouse cursor is when you click

Move:Group in that menu.

 

Love EAGLE!  One of the best pieces of software I've ever used!

  • I hate those menus. Just like I hate how ver 5.8  wants to pan my view

    screen with key combinations that I counted on for something else.

     

    I wish that Cadsoft would see fit to make these "improvements" optional,

    instead of making them the default operation which needs to be corrected

    through some arcane "expert" tweak, if you liked the old way of doing

    things.

     

    Just because something is new or different does not necessarily mean it is

    an improvement.

     

    Eagle used to be something special to me but lately it has become a

    whirlwind of useless window dressing, forcing me to adapt to some new,

    undesired, program behavior each time I install an "update".
