>yep .. could be done, although i am using it quite often :) Yea, me too. Sigh. SkyJUMP has a solution for this problem too. It has a section on the menu that caches the last three executed commands so that everything is always handy the second time you do it.
Hi Michaël, haven't heard from you for a while. The use case I'm really solving happens quite a bit in the facilities-management-like environment that we work in. Say that you are planning to build some new facilities and you import a nice looking floor plan from CAD (thanks to your DXF plugin). Of course, since it is a CAD drawing, it is nowhere in the real world so you have to move it. It would be great to cut it, zoom to the proper location, paste it to the point that you right-click on. Then since you don't control exactly what point it pasts at, you get the move tool automatically to adjust it (and perhaps rotate too). Then you click at another point and paste for the second facility and so on... regards, Larry On Nov 7, 2007 5:01 PM, Stefan Steiniger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Larry Becker schrieb: > > I worry about overloading the context menus too.
