Thanks for the suggestions! In elementary OS we use the term "secondary click" instead of "right click", because it is device agnostic. Many users are using laptops with multitouch two-finger secondary clicking and for those users the term "right click" doesn't make sense

As @danrabbit pointed out "secondary click" should be used. However the whole item is not very precise in meaning so if it is to be changed it might as well be improved. It refers to adding another option to the context menu shown when secondary-clicking on a hyperlink in the terminal text. I would suggest something like
<li>Add "Open in" option to the context menu of links</li>

Closing through lack of progress. |

@jeremypw Missed this. Helps to ping if things have gone by the wayside. Edit: There is a lot of "right click" in for example https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aelementary%2Fwebsite+right+click&type=code to get to. What is the nomenclature for middle-click? If you call what is usually "A" on a game controller the primary button it is also correct, but similarly there is no way for the user to know what is what on the thing right in front of them. |

@comradekingu Please re-open if you wish this to be reconsidered. @danirabbit has some comments that have not been resolved so maybe ping her to discuss. I guess fixing questionable wording on old release notes may not be a high priority, but there are some valid points to be considered for subsequent releases. |

@jeremypw I can't reopen it. I am not part of the org. If you want it can then be reverted to "secondary-click" and the inconsistency and whatever middle-click is can be an issue for another day. My thinking is that people having changed clicking over to the other side or use special equipment know about it. Some 30 years of being exposed to computers doesn't mean I find "tertiary click" intuitive, but that is what I thought it was. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_button "Combine primary- and secondary-clicks to execute a tertiary click." is an example of something I propose very few people in the target audience would understand. |

@lenemter Luckily the fixed description is all that is left after conflicts. :) |

Generally, this isn't a great app description and that's not your fault at all. But I'm hesitant to say that these changes are enough of an improvement to break all the existing translations. Changing "which" to "that" feels like a pretty minor style thing and not really necessary or an improvement.
I would personally be more happy to merge something that was a much better description that would feel more obviously worth requiring all the re-translation. But I also am not gonna object if someone else feels like this is enough of an improvement to merge it
