Right-clicking to change blocks removed in 3.0, please add it back in.

Back in 2.0, if you right-clicked on certain blocks (like operators or variables), you could select a new version of the block. However, I can't do this anymore in 3.0. In my case, I was scripting this code:

if <(variable) > 0>:
Do some stuff…
if <(variable) < 0>:
Do some other stuff…

Normally I would just duplicate the first “if” block with the operator inside, then right click the operator to change it from “greater than” to “lesser than”. But 3.0 doesn't like that.

This isn't a game-changing problem for me, as it just takes a bit longer to code something, but I really liked that feature and I used it all the time. Please add it back!

Support! It gets really annoying to have to keep dragging blocks for complicated calculations.

Definitely support! BTW, variables have this feature in 2.0 and in 3.0. You could switch between different variables.

Back in 2.0 you could right click an operator and change it, this would be very helpful to have back. Thanks

e.g.
(() + (0))//(right clicked) -, *, /
it's hard to show, but I hope it's self explanatory.

I used it a ton, and maybe others did too, so I hope it's added back…

(still not out of the habit of right clicking to change xD)

If you'd like to see right clicking options for >, =, < then go here

Wow, I never knew this was there in the first place! Support for it to be added back!

As I said in an earlier post a few days ago, this was (in my case, “would have been”) so useful that I highly doubt they removed it intentionally; they are after all still working on it.

Support! This was a very handy shortcut to have access to. I hope the ST adds this feature back in!

I never really realized this until you brought it up, but I will support! I bet that a lot of people used this frequently, just like you, and I bet that this could've really helped me.

I used this very frequently, and I was slightly disappointed when it was removed. I was a very useful shortcut.

Support, I used this all the time. It is frustrating to have to keep switching to the operators category for just one block.

I didn't use that feature at all, but it seems like people want it back, so why not?

from what I see it seems that they are asking for Right-clicking booleans, and I'm doing operators, they do mention operators, but specifically say booleans.
