So I tried the double-click & right click functionality.
For a file as one word 'formatCheck'
- double clicking it, runs it (its an executable.)
- Right clicking it, brings up the menu wuth "open" enabled.
Hello;
Bummer on the number of buttons.
For a file with a path "/home/adam/bin/formatCheck"
- double clicking it just highlights the word that you clicked on - I
configured Xterm character
classes to include "/" so that double clicking a path would select
everything.
* It would be great to have this ability.
- Right clicking it, brings up the menu with 'Open' disabled.
