Can not "click and hold" to toggle selection

(1/4) > >>

rovf:
I'm looking for a way to select/deselect a file in the explorer pane. I have configured my left mouse button to open/execute the file, because this is what I am doing most of the time, but sometimes I just want to select or deselect a file, without doing anything else.

I have configured my mouse to associate "click and hold" for the right mouse button, with "toggle selection". However, when I click and hold the mouse - even for more than one second - it always opens the context menu instead. What am I doing wrong?

See the attached screenshot for my current settings.

The problem is that not all combination will work.
Some combination will collide with how core functions works and with other options, and some depends on if you are using ExplorerStyled setup or CommanderStyled setup.

But I get your setup to work. However the problem is that when you release the mouse button the Click action (context menu) is issued.
And idea is to move context menu to right button double click instead of click

rovf:
Thank you for the explanation. I'm not all too happy with the solution, because double-click for the context menu is a bit counter intuitive....

In Windows Explorer, it can be configured, that single-clicking on the small square to the left of the filename would toggle the selection, while single-clicking on the filename would open/run the file. This is pretty convenient, because it's like eating the cake and keeping it. Would it be possible to implement something similar to Multi Commander?

Checkboxes are already there.
The settings are under ExplorerPanel Settings

I *do*have the checkboxes. This is not the problem. They just don't behave in the expected way. For example, when I click on a checkbox in front of a filename of an excel file, Excel is started. Of course, the checkbox gets a checkmark too (in this respect, it selects correctly), but I don't want to have the associated program to be launched.  I only want the checkmark to be set (or removed), without a program being started.
