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!

    Other people have requested exactly those features long enough to

    finally get them... Otherwise, Cadsoft would be blamed to not listen

    to

    the customer requests. You can't serve /all/ people best.

     

    I can understand why CadSoft has to add new features.  The point though is

    that all new features which change existing behavior should be made

    optional with the default being the old way.  It seems every time I udpate

    Eagle I have to waste time figuring out why something that used to work

    doesn't work anymore, and usually not when I want to spend that time.  Let

    me decide when I want to investigate new features, and then if I want to

    enable them at all.

     

    I know the temptation of developers is to show off the shiny new "cool"

    features they just spent a lot of time implementing, but please please

    resist that temptation.  It drives us existing customers nuts.
