Titlebar move action does not pop down context menu

[RamonUnch]

I was having a look at the SmartSystemMenu you recommended and came across another bug.
When the "right click action menu" title bar action is disabled, the native menu doesn't disappear on left click.

This is before I installed the SmartSystemMenu.
So maybe solving this would solve the Action menu not disappearing sometimes.
idk just taking a guess.

EDIT in the `[Advanced]` section of the .ini file.
TTBMoveClick=0
; If set to 1, then a click will be sent to the titlebar when
; moving with AltSnap from the titlebar. This can help to pop down
; context menu when the drag starts. AutoFocus needs to be enabled
; for this option to have effect.

Does close the menus and panels reliably, but produces a clearly noticeable delay and prevents MoveUp.

Strange, for me MoveUp works. and I do not see much of a delay.
Give me your .ini file again, maybe I can figure it out.

MoveUp works when I hold move down as long as the additional delay introduced with TTBMoveClick.

Attempt to visualize the delay:

For me, the titlebar actions stop working completely when I enable the option.
(The hand cursor also stops showing)
And everything becomes laggy.

Well obviously I will need to test with Win10 as I still cannot reproduce.
My guess is that win10 detects specifically when a click is generated while the mouse click is still down and must process multi-touch events, which takes time and can mess up input queue.

Well I tried a different strategy:
You no longer have this click stuff but I send the Alt key instead.
Of course to prevent Alt from selecting a menu, I have to send Ctrl in between alt down and alt up.

In the [Advanced] section of the .ini file


DragSendsAltCtrl=1
; If set to 1, then Alt_Down, Ctrl_Down, Ctrl_Up, Alt_Up will be sent.
; at the begining of a move/resize action, unless Alt is alreadt down.
; This can help to pop down context menu when the drag starts.

Yes this works perfectly!
But just out of curiosity why is ctrl also being sent along with alt?
Isn't alt enough?

Also unrelated to all of this.
Why is the titlebar exclusion list called MMBLower?
I always seemed to expand the MMB part as middle mouse button in my head for some reason.

@rp1231
Alt alone would trigger menu bars and hotkey overlays.

@RamonUnch
DragSendsAltCtr

-Pro
Far less delay (but still an almost unnoticeable amount).
No interference with MoveUp.

-Contra
Only works on Windows system menus (and ribbon menus) but not on menus which rely solely on focus loss.
In case the Win button is the hotkey button, using zones activates "Shift+Ctrl+Win+Alt" which triggers the office home page (windows quirk 😒).

Alt is enough but if you press Alt, then the menu bar will be selected. If you press the alt-ctrl cequence then you fix this problem.

It is for backward compatibility with ini file. It used to be only the middle mouse button in the titlebar that would have lowered a window, then I generalized that and did not change the name of the blacklist because it would force everyone to update their .ini file.

I will avoid to send the sequence then if Shift is down. however I do not expect it to be perfect, we are starting to send too many keys and shortcuts are triggered more easily.

Smarter Aero Snap dimensions + ResizeUp=SideSnap

[rp1231]

I'll give ultra instinct a try XD

[RamonUnch]

Maybe this one will no longer have a lag when using DragSendsAltCtrl=1

No perceivable delay whatsoever.
