1 KODAK HERO 3.1 All-in-One Printer. 8 OK button Selects a menu item, accepts a zoom setting, or allows you. On a computer with MAC OS, you can use Home Center Software to order supplies, access the Extended User Guide, and configure your printer from your computer. OS X port of Handmade Hero. Contribute to itfrombit/osxhandmade development by creating an account on GitHub. Or drag one into the application window., you have to import and save the textures using the new DevUI command button (hit F10 to display the DevUI, F9 to dismiss it when finished).
If I'm not mistaken, every web browser since Netscape 2.x has had this feature (IE, Netscape, iCab, Opera, OmniWeb, etc.). I doubt it's been posted to many web sites, so I'm glad you did. Now everyone who's anyone will know.. 8-)

Safari doesn't behave this way..
..and I tried it on Firefox, and it is cool!
This feature has been around in Mozilla as long as I can remember, even IE has it, which means it really has been around for years (when did the last feature update to IE happen, 2001?).
Dude, this thing is really old. You know - it's older then the whole IE on the Mac. The even older then the whole IE! I've been using Netscape since version 1.1 (was that back in '95 or am I already too senile?). I think the contextual menus were really implemented in 2.0 as the original poster said. So about '96 or so. Which is like a millennium before 2001 in web terms.
Actually, at that time, there was still System 7. No contextual menus there! And the Mac had a one-button mouse. So the Netscape engineers had to think of a work-around to implement the Windows features. That's where this click-and-hold came from.
So, just to sum it up, I believe Safari is the first Mac browser NOT having this feature. I guess Apple wanted to unify the contextual menu workings of OS and browser.
I had become so accustomed to this hold-for-drop-down behaviour in my Mac browsers (Netscape 2+, M$IE, Mozilla and now FireFox) that when I use Safari (Adobe's Help files always open in it, even though I have FireFox as my default) I wind up wondering why nothing happens when I continue to hold the button down..
I requested Apple to implement this click-and-hold-for-contextual-menu as a systemwide feature a while back. My argument is that this feature works great with Apple's one button mouse. If you click and hold any item on your dock, a relevant contextual menu will appear.
or break down and buy a two button mouse..
it is a common keystroke for the auto-complete feature of software IDEs, and that is how i stumbled upon it.
helpful I guess if you are typing in a text field and don't want to use the mouse or something.

As for button use on laptops, I'd go nuts without SideTrack, and highly recommend it to all iBook/PowerBook users. Not just more mouse buttons, but also vertical and horizontal 'scroll wheels'. And freeware, at least until it emerges from beta (more stable as a beta device driver than some 'released' apps -- never had the slightest bit of trouble from it).
.. would be to *stop* the behavior from happening in the Toolbar Bookmarks area.
I have lots of folders in there, which become menus. I tend to click once to open the menu, then click and hold on a menu item while I decide if I really want to go there. The bloody contextual menu pops up and is very hard to get rid of if you hold too long. You either end up trying to ignore it or hitting escape which disappears both your contextual menu and the Bookmaks Toolbar menu you were trying to make a selection from.
Or you could use the newest version of the SIDETRACK driver on your laptop, and map a corner to 'Mouse Button 2' and have a corner to hit for the contextual menu.

I suggest using sidetrack to map the mouse BUTTON on the powerbook to be the RIGHT-CLICK, then use the 'tapping' on the powerbooks trackpad to function as the LEFT-CLICK. Just a suggestion.
If I rember correctly, Micro$oft just recently applied for and recieved a pattent on how the mouse works and the methods in which you can do different things with it depending on the number of clicks or the length of time the button is depressed. No gravity (itch) (k4stro) mac os. For myself I think Micro$oft should be taken out and shot for even sugesting that they had anythng to do with the development of the Mouse, that is short of copying the idea from Apple and xerox.

The MS patent referred to in the parent comment (and in the following comment) is not applicable to the Mac. That patent is applicable only to 'substantially smaller palm-type computers'.
Patent number 6727830
From the patent: 'Alternative application functions are launched based on the length of time an application button is pressed. A default function for an application is launched if the button is pressed for a short, i.e., normal, period of time. An alternative function of the application is launched if the button is pressed for a long, (e.g., at least one second), period of time. Still another function can be launched if the application button is pressed multiple times within a short period of time, e.g., double click.'
The MS patent referred to in the parent comment (and in the preceding comment) is not applicable to the Mac. That patent is applicable only to 'substantially smaller palm-type computers'.
And it only referred to specific type of inputting on a touch screen with a stylus. I love the slashdot herd mentality.

Heh.. this is how contextual menus were introduced on the Mac in the first place. Control-clicking was an alien concept and appealed mostly to power users who didn't like to wait two seconds for the menu to appear. Two-button mice were even more alien.
Try holding down the mouse button on icons in the Dock, or on the back button in Safari.
So, pressing and holding the mouse is nice, but I find myself with the opposite question: is there a way to bring up the contuxual menu with a key stroke in OS X? Often I'm in a text field typing and want to make a spelling correct without reaching for the mouse. Windows keyboards have a special key for it. Is there a way to do it on the Mac?
I use ittec pref pane to achieve this.

It works perfectly with 10.3.5.
Another nice feature for those of you who are into simply testing the browser alongside Safari, but not yet ready to completely ditch Safari, there's also a feature that would allow you to syncronize and share bookmark sets.

I can't believe anyone LIKES this. It was cool back when Netscape was brand new (or maybe 2.0, as another post suggested) but it's downright annoying now. Since every mouse I own except those that have shipped with my Macs are multi-button mice, and since I don't really mind using Control from time to time, I find that the only time I use this feature is when it rears its head when I don't want it to. If I hold the mouse down for a second for whatever reason, I get the stupid menu in my way. And there's no way I know of to disable it.
I guess I'm glad you like it, as it means it's doing some good, but I can't imagine why. For $29 (or a lot less by now) you can have a nice optical mouse with two buttons.

Shopkeep mac os. Obviously you are not a laptop user - you will be one day - as Apples sales have increasingly been dominated by laptops.
For a laptop only user like me, Click-and-Hold, is the ONLY way on a flight crammed into a seat - or in a factory floor with the PB on my lap - or holding the PB with one hand and mousing wih the other in a line at the Airport counter - etc.
Click-and-hold is the ONLY reason I dont use Safari and Camino - both of which are faster than FireFox.
