How to not open the context menu if a mouse gesture is executed?

[MicheliBarcello]

I have a program that is working, but it opens the context menu after simulating the commands. (That's because it's done with the right mouse button).

Is there a way to not open the context menu if a mouse gesture is executed?

from pynput.mouse import Listener, Button
from pynput.keyboard import Key, Controller
import time

is_right_button_pressed = False
initial_x = 0
initial_y = 0
min_movement = 20
max_x_deviation = 10
max_y_deviation = 10

keyboard = Controller()

right_button_pressed_time = 0

def on_click(x, y, button, pressed):
    global is_right_button_pressed, initial_x, initial_y, right_button_pressed_time

    if button == Button.right:
        if pressed:
            is_right_button_pressed = True
            initial_x = x
            initial_y = y
            right_button_pressed_time = time.time()
        else:
            if is_right_button_pressed:
                is_right_button_pressed = False
                elapsed_time = time.time() - right_button_pressed_time
                if elapsed_time <= 2:
                    x_diff = initial_x - x
                    y_diff = initial_y - y

                    if abs(y_diff) <= max_y_deviation:
                        if x_diff > min_movement: 
                            keyboard.press(Key.alt)
                            keyboard.press(Key.left)
                            keyboard.release(Key.left)
                            keyboard.release(Key.alt)
                        elif x_diff < -min_movement: 
                            keyboard.press(Key.alt)
                            keyboard.press(Key.right)
                            keyboard.release(Key.right)
                            keyboard.release(Key.alt)
                    if abs(x_diff) <= max_x_deviation:
                        if y_diff > min_movement:
                            keyboard.press(Key.home)
                            keyboard.release(Key.home)
                        elif y_diff < -min_movement:
                            keyboard.press(Key.end)
                            keyboard.release(Key.end)
                        if y_diff < -min_movement and x_diff > min_movement:
                            keyboard.press(Key.win)
                            keyboard.press('d')
                            keyboard.release('d')
                            keyboard.release(Key.win)

def on_press(key):
    if key == Key.menu:
        return False

with Listener(on_click=on_click) as listener:
    with Listener(on_press=on_press) as context_listener:
        listener.join()
        context_listener.join()

I want that the context menu does not appear if a mouse gesture action is performed.

Don't work, can help me ?

The pynput listener does have a flag for suppressing events. It doesn't look like there is a way to turn this on and off.

Start by limiting what events are suppressed.

https://pynput.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html

If this gives you want you want, great. If you want to pass along some events that are getting suppressed, you can mimic them using pynput. I wouldn't think that pynput will capture events for mouse events it creates.
