Idea related to the Toolbox Flyout Menus

Subpath

While playing with the Rhino 3D demo I found something interesting
about the toolbox flyout menus that might also be interesting for VectorStyler.

Rhino uses the right mouse button to open these flyout menus, so you no longer
have to hit the little triangles. I know it works better now.

Rhino have this little triangles too, because after all you should
be able to see that there is something to fold out.

I did a test in VS, the right mouse button does the same as the left mouse button,
so I think that the way Rhino handles it may also be possible in VS.

Here a Video how Rhino do this

@Subpath Yes, this is possible to add. The only problem is that the "left mouse click on arrow area" must be kept as this is expected from similar apps.

Have no problem with that, I would also leave the left mouse button as it is.
Since the right mouse button does nothing, I thought using it for the
flyout menus could be a good solution

@Subpath I just tested it and found that Illustrator also supports this function.

That is a good motivation

The Affinity apps do it with a long press, which makes sense for a tablet interface, but a right click is likely a better solution for a desktop app.
