Mark Roseman added the comment:

Terry, the new code I've proposed includes a "tkextras" module that is a good 
place for these sort of little convenience functions.

[issue24988] IDLE: debugger context menus not working on Mac

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

The standard on Windows is to bring up a context menu on right-button-release, 
not on r-b-press.  What about linux and mac?  

Thunderbird and Notepad++ move the insertion cursor on rb-press, That is the 
paste position even if the mouse is moved before release. Notepad does not move 
the insert cursor. MS Word is confusing, erasing the cursor when the menu is 
displayed and moving it when the menu goes away.

EditorWindow.py has this code for context menu event binding:

if macosxSupport.isAquaTk():
# Some OS X systems have only one mouse button,
# so use control-click for pulldown menus there.
#  (Note, AquaTk defines <2> as the right button if
#   present and the Tk Text widget already binds <2>.)
text.bind("",self.right_menu_event)
else:
# Elsewhere, use right-click for pulldown menus.
text.bind("<3>",self.right_menu_event)

Testing with my middle button, a press and release act the same as left click 
to move the insertion cursor to the mouse cursor. Moving my mouse while holding 
the middle button down moves the text pane within the text window. The 
insertion cursor is not moved. This is pretty much redundant with using the 
scroll wheel or scroll bar.

Would it confuse Mac users to have rt-click for context menu only work in 
debugger?  Could we make rt-click work in editor windows by recording position 
or time on press and compare position or time on release?

Ned, can you check this Idle-Mac patch?

I presume the same code is used elsewhere.  It might be nice to encapsulate it 
sometime, though I am not sure where to put a context-bind function.

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

'Goto source line' works on Win7.  Show stackframe does not do anything that I 
can see, and seems perhaps redundant.
