In an extension I wrote, many users are asking me to support right- click on the Browser Action. I tell them that's not going to happen. So I thought up two alternatives:
1. If the click-event returns the x/y of the mouse click on the Browser Action, I could change the icon to have a small arrow or something. And clicking on the arrow would do one thing, and clicking anywhere else, would do another. [I wonder why Chrome doesn't already show a tiny arrow for all extensions with popups... It might be a good UI clue. Nevermind. Idle musings.] 2. I understand that in the future, right-clicking on Browser Actions will display some "management menu". Perhaps it would be possible for the Browser Actions to add items to that list? It would be nice to add a link to the "Options" page, directly from there. (Actually, it might be safer just to have a predefined set of pages: "Options", "About", etc. Then again, maybe not. Unless the extension can add its own menu items - like "Add", "Awesomize", etc.- it makes little sense to have a predefined set of pages. Developers would just hijack them for other stuff, but won't be able to change the names of the menu items. Or, they might not even use the feature. Yay! I've debated my idea into oblivion!) OK, that was a lot of blathering. Anybody have any thoughts about this? Option 1 worries me about not being accessibility-friendly... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chromium-extensions" group.
