"Click and hold" to right click does not work in Photoshop Canvas.

[Cortor]

Hello there !

I've seen this problem asked over a few times, but no suitable answers yet - maybe time brought something new !

Since the last PS update, It's not possible for me to hold the pen to right click in the Photoshop canvas. It works fine outside, or within the PS menus, but not onto the canvas.
I've checked the pen & touch settings, disabled windows Ink, reinstalled older versions of Photoshop, updated the Wacom drivers (and obviously restarted).

I work with an medium Intuos under Windows 10.

Anyone has found a solution or have an idea of what it can be ?

kind regards,

Corto

Windows press and hold right click get in the way with Photoshop that is why you have disabled it in  windows Pen and touch. Set a wacom button for right click.  Wacom default for the Pen bottom button is right click.

Hi, thanks for the fast answer !

So, you're saying that it's not possible anymore ?

(I don't have access to the buttons on my stylus, thus my asking here).

Anyway, thanks a lot !

It sounds like you took Adobe advice and disabled Windows pen and touch press and hold right click.

And are also using WinTab not INK.  Try using ink and enable press and holed right click

Hi JJ Mack;

I have not disable Windows pen and touch press and hold right click.
I don't use WinTab, and Ink was (by default) active so I disabled it;

Are you suggesting I should disable Windows pen and touch press and hold right click, then install WinTab and use it instead ?

I apologies if I'm slow at getting what you mean.

Thanks for your help,
Corto

I would think the Press and hold is a Windows pen thing why would you disable Pen INK support if you want to use Press and Hold.  Adobe recommends disabling Press Hold so do I it interferes with photoshop operation with brush like tools.  Wacom pen bottom button is right click.
