I like this idea. Proven and known solution. It's brilliant.
What qooxdoo developers think about it? I think it's worth consider this to be
implemented in qooxdoo. No mess anymore with alternatives for contextmenu.
Long time (few months) passed since I used my handheld last time and I used it
only for phone calls.
P.S. I implemented spike solution in my application. I use it more than mouse
right click now. :)
