Right click does not work on toolbar

Hello makeshine and welcome to the Affinity forums:)
If other Tools are nested in a collection, the currently shown tool icon will have a small grey triangle showing in it’s bottom right corner.
You can access one of the other nested tools in one of three ways;
1: Left Click on the small triangle in the bottom right corner of the currently showing tool icon.
2: Long Left Click on the currently showing tool icon.
3: Double Left Click on the currently showing tool icon

And also, to my surprise, by right-clicking on the tool icon.

Nope, not with MacOS, in my experience. I tried it. If you right-click on the tool icon, nothing happens. Maybe you can set that somewhere in the preferences, but why should you, when there are already three ways to change tools with the left mouse button?

I'm not sure why we would need a 4th way, but on Windows we seem to have one.

Right click would have been convenient but I guess I'll have to make due with the alternatives. 

I'm curious: why is a right-click more convenient than the other alternatives?

It's not any less mouse movement, or any fewer clicks than two of them :)

I didn't even know you could right-click on Windows O.o I always long-hold. Regardless, both apps should share feature parity when it isn't an 'OS feature' so I will happily investigate this one. 

I'm also not convinced by the double-click as this is very slow so I've asked about that. It needs adding to Windows if dev wants to keep it.
