      Hi, I am posting a question to plugin developers: would it be difficult to have the three main tools, MOVE - ROTATE - SCALE, as selectable commands in the right click menu?

      Is there already a plugin that does so?

      I would find it useful for my workflow (I know there are shortcuts and stuff, but sometimes I can't use my left hand and clicking on the buttons slows me down).

      I hope to have some answers πŸ˜‰

        This code adds Move/Scale/Rotate to the context-menu if something is selected.
        The code is very simple and can be adjusted as desired...

        require('sketchup.rb')
        unless file_loaded?(__FILE__)
        	UI.add_context_menu_handler{|menu|
        		if Sketchup.active_model.selection[0]
        			menu.add_item('Move...'){Sketchup.send_action("selectMoveTool;")}
        			menu.add_item('Scale...'){Sketchup.send_action("selectScaleTool;")}
        			menu.add_item('Rotate...'){Sketchup.send_action("selectRotateTool;")}
        		end
        	}
        end
        file_loaded(__FILE__)
        

        Put the rb file into your Plugins folder and restart Sketchup to see the additional commands in the context-menu...
