Question
In Aleph 19 the edit menu has been split up. There are two Edit menus - 'Edit Actions' and 'Edit Text'.
In the documentation it says:
To open the 'Edit Actions' menu from the record Editor use 'Right-click' mouse option.
To open the 'Edit Text' menu from the record Editor use Shift+ 'Right-click' mouse option.
Is there a way to swap these mouse options so you get the 'Edit Text' menu when you right-click?
Answer
The ability to switch these is included as Aleph 21 rep_ver 17411: A "RightClickMenu" parameter has been added to the Editor section of catalog.ini :
[Editor]
RightClickMenu=EditActions [the Default] or
RightClickMenu=EditText
The latter will give you the 'Edit Text' menu when you right-click.
Then restart the Catalog client.
Attached PowerPoint details this.
