Tippy - Right-Click Powers

Tippies can be quickly adopted with immediate workflow benefits...

• Right-Click Powers

Pointing devices (mouse, trackpad, pen, etc.) are used to move around in Hyperspace. These have a main (left) button or equivalent (e.g., one-finger tap on trackpad, tap-n-hold on iPad). This works to select or activate whatever the pointer is pointing to.

Pointing devices also have a secondary (right) button or equivalent (e.g., double-finger tap on trackpad).

This works differently in different places, but right-clicks almost always save time:

• Lists and command icons - Context-sensitive pop-up menu listing things one can do (e.g., make favourite, edit) for the item that the cursor points to.
• Order-entry - Right-click anywhere in an order detail box to accept the order (instead of clicking on the "Accept" button).
• NoteWriter - When working with tri-state buttons ("+" button for positive and "−" button for negative), a right-click is the equivalent of clicking the "−" button.
• SmartLists - When working with SmartText and selecting items in a SmartList, a right-click is the equivalent of the Enter key for moving to the next editable item in the SmartText.

There's more! Experiment with right-click (or equivalent) to learn new efficiencies without taking one's hand off the pointing device.
