Hold the right button on a folio and drag: a ring appears around the
point where the button went down, showing up to eight commands, and the
one in the mouse's direction is highlighted with its name underneath.
Releasing runs it; releasing near the centre cancels. These are
SolidWorks' mouse gestures.
The commands are the shortcut bar's for the selection, placed clockwise
from the top, so customising the bar customises the ring. As with the
context menu, a right press selects what is under the mouse first.
A plain right click still opens the context menu, now on release on
every platform. The view tracks the right button and opens the menu
itself; the platform's own right-click event (sent on press on X11, on
release on Windows) is ignored while gestures are on, so the menu is
never opened twice. The keyboard menu is unchanged.
The view keeps out of the way while a tool or a placement is running,
since a right click cancels or finishes those, and while a text is
being edited. The new General option "Gestes de la souris avec le
bouton droit" (diagrameditor/mouse_gestures, on by default) turns it
off and restores the previous right button exactly.
Discussion #1033.
