Right Click - Admin Area

Anyone else annoyed by the fact the right click on the mouse doesn't work in most of the admin area?

Sure, I can use CTRL-C or CMD-C to copy and CTRL-V or CMD-V to paste but when so much of the user interface is mouse driven it doesn't make any sense why Infor disabled the right click functions.

I put in a ticket but not getting much help from support other than this isn't a bug and has always been that way.

I would like to ask why was it disabled in the first place? What benefit did disabling the right click provide?

Knowing why it was disabled may make it where I can make sense of the situation. If enabling right click causes more problems, it might make sense to leave it disabled. But at the current moment it is a frustration and makes the UI harder to use.

It's always interesting to hear other's perspectives. I read this post and honestly wasn't even sure, then started thinking about it and I'm a keyboard shortcut fanatic. I rarely use right click and had to go to the admin screen and start trying to right click on items to even catch it. We use LinkedIn Learning and the weird thing I noticed there was I usually have to right click and say copy for what I need to copy because I will always default to CTRL-C and then it doesn't work and I get all frustrated and have to go "oh yeah I have to right-click..."

Curious to know if there was a rationale behind using / not using right-click

For me if the application is designed to use keyboard shortcuts I tend to use them. If the application is designed for mouse inputs then I rarely touch the keyboard. Its kind of one or the other for me.
