Re: Yet another question, about right click menu
Thu, 24 May 2018 17:34:45 -0700 (PDT), _Jeffrey Needle_: I'm wondering if there is a way to add "Word Count" to the right click menu in SM. I can't find a way, after searching on the web. What's the context of the right-click you're up to – web page, mail message, other? Would it be available only for selected text, or complete web page/mail message also? Could you give a reference/example of another software which already does it, like another browser or user extension to it? It is certainly possible to add such item to SeaMonkey context menus, though I'm not aware of existing add-on/extension which does the exact thing you're after. -- Stanimir ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Yet another question, about right click menu
Okay, yes, I'm a pest. Sorry. I'm wondering if there is a way to add "Word Count" to the right click menu in SM. I can't find a way, after searching on the web.
