popups

Good to hear! Glad you like it. We are about to make a release of Cacio
(the first one!), and I'll be happy to fix that little issue before
doing it.

This seems to be correct. There are desktop environments where the popup
trigger is something else (like MacOS, CTRL+leftclick AFAIK), but right
click seems right for most others. Several ways to handle it come to
mind:

- We could provide support for emulating different environments,
depending on some setting (sysproperty?).
- We could declare that for the Cacio environment (heh) right-click is
it :-)

I lean towards the latter solution, at least until somebody really needs
more flexibility (e.g. when testing for MacOS environment).

What do you (and others) think?

Cheers,
Roman
