Inspired by the Shiira browser, which has the nice featur (like IE for mac had) to be able to show the contextual menu by click and holding the mousebutton. I was wondering if it would be able to do this system-wide. If so: is there a plugin/app that does this?

there are some apps, like this , that let you create your own contextual menus.

i use this to access folders, scripts, apps...etc

These are both not what I mean. Right now, you have to ctrl-click to show the contextual menu. It would be nice if the contextual menu would appear by just holding the mouse-button pressed.

openmenu (the one i linked above), let's me do that (can be turned on in its preferences)
works with my mouse, and on my powerbook, holding the clicker works.
