Hi all, I looked through the topics and docs and this seems like a pretty obvious thing, but I didn’t find it anywhere. Is there a way to click on a markup in the 3D view and have it highlighted in the markups list in the markup module? I feel like this should work but I’m doing something wrong. T…

Right-click should be available in May 5 version. Do you use a Mac? I’ve noticed that on some touchpad/mouse on Mac create many pointer events, even when the point is not or barely moved, which defeats the current click detection mechanism. Maybe we need to increase the click detection’s motion tole…

I am on a Mac, yes. I was looking through the commits since May 5 and didn’t see anything obvious, so I was wondering why it doesn’t work. I am using an external mouse, not a touchpad, if that makes a difference.

In qSlicerMarkupsModuleWidget.cxx, I see a connection for right-click in the activeMarkupTableWidget. Is there a different place where the signal comes from the 3D view or a slice view (presumably to the same slot)?

Markup node selection is initiated by the 2D/3D markups widget and it ends with calling qSlicerMarkupsModuleWidget::setEditedNode. Markups ID could be passed in the context argument.

OK. But this is implemented already? I was mostly looking for where it might be not working. Sorry for my confusion!

yeah, it does not appear to work. I’m right-clicking very carefully with an external mouse so it does not appear to be a trackpad/touchpad noisy-right-click-with-two-fingers issue.

Odd, it works fine for me on mac with either mouse or trackpad.

You are right clicking after the fiducial color changed from red to blue (meaning it is selected), right? Otherwise it doesn’t work? Any chance you might have interactions disabled?

[image] hherhold: yeah, it does not appear to work. Do you have a debug-mode build? It would be awesome if you could track this down. I would suspect that your mouse driver generates a mouse event between pressing and releasing the button, even if you don’t physically move the mouse (or maybe…

Yes, context menu on right-click is implemented and it works already. If the context menu does not appear for you then it is a bug.
