Context menus with just a touchscreen- June 29, 2008 An issue I encountered while running plasma on my Neo1973 is the lack of a right mouse button (the screen can't really distinguish between ends of the styluswhich finger I use). A situation where this lack of an RMB is most clear is when you want to use some functionality that is only available in a context-menu.
