Hi all,
we're trying to implement mouse gestures[0] in a simple webkit2gtk
browser. To make things a little easier, here's a minimal example:
https://gist.github.com/vain/e861bce9536410aa10d46948d6bd48c8
To invoke a gesture, press the right mouse button and drag the pointer
left, right, up or down. The browser will then navigate backward,
forward, reload the page or open a new tab.
The current implementation makes the context menu inaccessible.
Problem
is, the context menu always opens on mouse *down* events. At that
point
in time, we don't know yet if the user is going to perform a gesture.
So, my question is, is there a way to open webkit's default context
menu
on mouse *release* events?
I don't think so, not currently. Maybe we need to change this, since
mouse gestures seems like an important use-case for this. Currently the
context menu is opened on mouse down events simply because that's what
GTK+ does. Maybe WebKit will need to diverge from GTK+'s behavior here.
