Mouse & Context Menu
Mouse
This tab gathers the options that are in charge of True Launch Bar's behavior on various mouse commands.
Let's define a couple of terms to be used in this chapter.
- First-level menu is the menu that appears as a button right on the toolbar.
- Submenu is the menu included in other menu.
Auto popup next first-level menu
You have opened the first-level menu, and then moved the mouse pointer to the next menu button on the toolbar. When the Auto popup next first level menu option is enabled, True Launch Bar will open the menu under the mouse pointer. Otherwise, you will need to click on the button to open that menu. You can set the delay (in milliseconds) before opening the new menu. This delay is to be set in the corresponding timeout field.
Close menu if mouse is over other toolbar button
This option completes the Auto popup next first-level menu option. If the setting is disabled, when you move the mouse pointer to the next button that is not a menu while a first-level menu is open, the open menu will not close. If you enable this option, that menu will close. However, as soon as you move the mouse pointer to any menu button, True Launch Bar will open that menu.
Popup menu on mouse hover
When the Popup menu on mouse hover option is enabled, True Launch Bar will open the menu as if you had just placed the mouse pointer over a menu button on the toolbar. If this option is disabled, you will need to click on the button in order to open the menu. You can set the delay (in milliseconds) before opening the menu. This delay is to be set in the corresponding timeout field.
Run shortcuts on mouse hover
When the Run shortcuts on mouse hover option is enabled, True Launch Bar will run the shortcut/file as soon as you place the mouse pointer over a button or menu item. If this option is disabled, you will need to click on the item to complete this action. You can set the delay value (in milliseconds) before running the item. This delay is to be set in the corresponding timeout field.
IMPORTANT! Hold the SHIFT key pressed to temporarily disable the automatic opening of items.
Auto close menu on mouse leave
Automatically closes the menu when the mouse pointer is outside the menu boundaries. You can set the delay value (in milliseconds) before closing the menu. This delay is to be set in the corresponding timeout field.
Use auto-close only for menus
This option completes the Auto close menu on mouse leave option. If the setting is enabled, the menu will automatically close regardless to position of the mouse pointer unless the pointer is within the menu. If you disable this option, the menu will close automatically only when the mouse pointer is outside the menu and True Launch Bar.
Popup submenu on mouse hover
This option is identical to Popup menu on mouse hover, but it applies to submenus only. If you want to change the delay before opening a submenu, enable the Custom submenu show delay option and set the delay in the corresponding delay time field.
Context menu
Use this tab to select a context menu template for various objects and change the context menu appearance.
Menu templates for
You can set a custom context menu for the following objects:
- Buttons - buttons on the taskbar and on menus that are not virtual folders.
- Virtual folders - virtual folder menu items and virtual folders.
- Plugins - plugins context menu.
- Empty space - blank space within a menu; e.g., menu title.
Show icons in the context menu
This option enables or disables displaying icons on the context menu.
Show full shell menu
If this option is enabled True Launch Bar will show the complete context menu, including items like Copy, Paste, Properties, etc. For virtual folders, the complete context menu will be shown at all times. Please note: Windows Explorer’s menu will be added to the context menu when the chosen template permits.
