Hi Rafael, *


[  First: the paragraphs in your mail shows up in my Thunderbird as one 
long line. Could you pls check if there is some gmail setting curing 
that :-)
Also: If you have the previous mails replying to them each and 
preferably in-line, helps me spending less time on mail reading and 
understanding. Which is useful with all that is passing by. thanks ;-) ]

So you suggest to have lift click for applying and right click for 
selecting and the other actions? Sounds fine :-)
On the other hand, what comes to my mind rapidly is that in most cases a 
user first selects an item in a list-box, and then presses OK (or such), 
or, alternatively double-clicks... So that at least explains the behaviour.
But since we don't have a button 'apply', indeed I know users sometimes 
are looking around .. ;-)

Correct. "Text at cursor position / selected" is more appropriate - but 
long...

Maybe...
And what about Delete? Leave that in the context menu?
Wondering what others think.

Thanks for your input!

PS - if at a certain moment we have the feeling that there is not so 
much input on a question and still are a bit in doubt, it might be an 
idea to consult e.g the users list ... with a specific question?
