This tab gathers the options that are in charge of True Launch Bar’s behavior on various mouse commands.
Let’s define a couple of terms to be used in this chapter.
You have opened the first-level menu, and then moved the mouse pointer to the next menu button on the toolbar. When the “Auto popup next first level menu” option is enabled, True Launch Bar will open the menu under the mouse pointer. Otherwise, you will need to click on the button to open that menu. You can set the delay (in milliseconds) before opening the new menu. This delay is to be set in the corresponding “timeout” field.
This option completes the “Auto popup next first-level menu” option. If the setting is disabled, when you move the mouse pointer to the next button that is not a menu while a first-level menu is open, the open menu will not close. If you enable this option, that menu will close. However, as soon as you move the mouse pointer to any menu button, True Launch Bar will open that menu.
When the “Popup menu on mouse hover” option is enabled, True Launch Bar will open the menu as if you had just placed the mouse pointer over a menu button on the toolbar. If this option is disabled, you will need to click on the button in order to open the menu. You can set the delay (in milliseconds) before opening the menu. This delay is to be set in the corresponding “timeout” field.
When the “Run shortcuts on mouse hover” option is enabled, True Launch Bar will run the shortcut/file as soon as you place the mouse pointer over a button or menu item. If this option is disabled, you will need to click on the item to complete this action. You can set the delay value (in milliseconds) before running the item. This delay is to be set in the corresponding “timeout” field.
IMPORTANT! Hold the SHIFT key pressed to temporarily disable the automatic opening of items.
Automatically closes the menu when the mouse pointer is outside the menu boundaries. You can set the delay value (in milliseconds) before closing the menu. This delay is to be set in the corresponding “timeout” field.
This option completes the “Auto close menu on mouse leave” option. If the setting is enabled, the menu will automatically close regardless to position of the mouse pointer unless the pointer is within the menu. If you disable this option, the menu will close automatically only when the mouse pointer is outside the menu and True Launch Bar.
This option is identical to “Popup menu on mouse hover”, but it applies to submenus only. If you want to change the delay before opening a submenu, enable the “Custom submenu show delay” option and set the delay in the corresponding “delay time” field.
