Indeed - it was [almost] *all* the unneeded and non-intuitive extra
select required (if I understand your suggestion re the "Ctrl + right
click", it doesn't work)... ;)
I really hope this gets addressed, as it makes a real difference -
less clicks and no need to use the keyboard at all!
In case my comments aren't clear enough, I am saying that the
right-click-on-an-element logic should always look at the current
count of "selected" entries - and if there is already one other
[different] item selected, then consider that it already has a pair of
items specified. In addition, if there *is* no other item already
selected, offer to diff the current item under the right-click with
the WC (for example, and where it would make sense). This would seem
to match TCVS, and just seems a more powerful UI.
Thanks for pointing out to me what *is* already there.
