I disagree and so do the band. I wasn't asking how to design the app,
just how to invoke a simulated right-click. Furthermore, I don't
believe that the current, clunky, feel that you're describing is how
things will end up given time. Computer usage changes by the month.
ITunes doesn't work the way you describe for the very good reason is
that it's clunky. We're not going to agree here and, fortunately, you
have no input into the design.
