Unhappy

A hidden feature accessed by a non-standard keystroke isn't really a good alternative! The Mac OS standard for performing a 'right-click' wioth a one-button mouse is control-click. Limewire uses the command key instead, which is totally against the Apple Human Interface Design guidelines.

However - I do appreciate knowing how to access this 'lost' feature. Thanks!

Perhaps future versions of the software could use control-click rather than command-click? And maybe this is something that should be built into the Preferences window as well, with a note there telling users they can access the feature by control-clicking or right-clicking the column titles?
