Of course you may ask πŸ™‚ . I'm currently using Total Commander and I am accustomed to do certain things in certain ways which I consider efficient. The problem is that I can't reproduce some of those features in Directory Opus. Here is the thread that actually made me realized I need mouse scripting in order to accomplish what I want: > [@Power Mode Left Click to only move caret?](https://resource.dopus.com/t/power-mode-left-click-to-only-move-caret/18199): > > In File Display Modes -\> Power Mode Buttons. When clicking a file/folder in Power Mode, I can't get the mouse to just move the selection caret there (without altering the selection). All options somehow influence selection. Disabled doesn't work eit… I am very impressed by Directory Opus in general, but I find it kind of staggering that the scripting engine doesn't allow mouse events scripting. That would really open up Directory Opus for very useful contextual scripts. I would need 3 licenses of Directory Opus and that's a pretty penny, but if I'm to spend it, I want this program to be absolutely all that I wish it to be. Mouse event scripting is essential for me not only because of the thread I linked above, but I consider that it would add a lot of potential to the investment I would be making πŸ™‚ --- _[View the full topic](https://resource.dopus.com/t/can-we-finally-script-against-and-with-mouse-events/21391)._
