Hello Bruce,

thank you for your quick answer and correction of my English sentence.
As mentioned in the e-mail, I am not a native speaker.

With regard to your question "But I think we've had this discussion
already, didn't we?".
In my opinion the key combinations like Ctrl+X were defined but not in
combination with a mouse interaction.

All this spelling right click, right-click and click right can be found in
the user manual, this I would like to unify to one spelling.

No matter on which spelling we agree, in combination with a key it looks
strange. e.g. Ctrl+right click or Ctrl+(right click)
Are there examples of how other manuals handle this?

IMHO it should be considered to completely eliminate the spelling of mouse
interactions in combination with keys like Ctrl+move, Ctrl+scoll or
Ctrl+right click in the manual and to express this in sentences instead
(see example sentence).

Thanks
Pierre Metzner
