Are you > relegating your approach to menus that don't have items > that act on the region? My suggestion is for a context menu. I.e. a menu of things to apply locally. Nothing specifically to do with the region. The region is but one particular kind of "local" thing (and the down-mouse-3 event is not necessarily placed near the region). I don't expect that the region would/will be the main use of this functionality. Stefan
