There is surely an interdependency between your question and mine. So the solution for your problem might affect the solution for mine. However your question sounds like a different topic. I'm quite familiar with the matter of Right Click Selecting an object + opening context menu (the Inkscape behaviour). As 'shortcut' of having to select the object first (say be left click) followed by right click to open the context menu. I do actually like it I struggle more with (a) closing the context menu and (b) deselecting the object. I see this too as single action (at least from mouse user perspective). It might be technically two different things, but I don't see why this not having the same 'shortcut' as when opening the context menu for a deselected shape -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
