How do I enable right-click (control-click) context menus in MonoDevelop?

Question

Right Click (or control-click since I'm on a Mac) doesn't bring up the context menus for Solution or Projects.

For instance, in Visual Studio I would right click on a Solution to add a new project to the solution. I've looked all through the menu and can't find the add project command.

Also, how do I add a folder to a project? Again, this would be available from the right-click menu in VS, but I can't find it anywhere in MonoDevelop.

Control-click doesn't do anything for me in any part of MD. Not even in the text editor. Is there a setting to get it to behave the way I'm expecting it to?

Shouldn't these options also be available via the main menu also?

Answer 1

These features are where you would expect to find them, exactly where you said. The solution context menu contains Add > Add new project and the project context menu has Add > New folder

I'm on a macbook so I get to use the old double-finger tap, rather than CTRL+Clicking all the time. Not sure why the CTRL+Click is not working for you.

EDIT:

Control-Click anywhere in the solution explorer seems to bring up a context-sensitive context menu. Control-Click whilst solution is selected brings up the solution context menu and if a project is selected, the project context menu.

Apparently this was a known issue and has been fixed. It was a bug in the gtk+ library. Single button mice weren't supported.

Still not sure why I'm seeing this bug now on my OSX 10.6.4 machine running the latest download of MonoDevelop.

Plugging in a 2-button mouse is an adequate work-around. I can right click and get the context menus I was looking for.

Control + click doesn't work but a two finger touch brings up the context menus on my Macbook Pro. Check your "Trackpad" settings in system preferences to see how you have secondary click setup on your mac.
