How do I make jstree to select node only on left click?

Question

Currently both left and right click select the node which interferes contextmenu as I use left clicks to go to other pages. How do I make select_node.jstree event know which mouse button is being clicked?

This might help you. Please have a look- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3944122/detect-left-mouse-button-press — Chirag Mongia, Dec 18 '13 at 07:35

You can also Use "select_node":false in the "contextmenu" section of your jstree settings to disable activating the node with the right click

see jstree documentation for this

@silver @periklis I want the node to be selected on both button clicks. My question is how do I take different actions depending on which button triggered the `select_node.jstree` event. – Alexander Suraphel Apr 07 '16 at 11:37
@AlexanderSuraphel I'm not sure how to do this, why don't you post this as a new question? – periklis Apr 07 '16 at 11:55
@periklis that was the original intent of my question! But does making `"select_node":false` appear selected when right clicked? – Alexander Suraphel Apr 07 '16 at 12:32

Because I wanted the click event to be fired on left click I return false when the click event is fired for right click.

$("#orgTree").bind("select_node.jstree", function(event, data) {

            var evt =  window.event || event;
            var button = evt.which || evt.button;

            if( button != 1 && ( typeof button != "undefined")) return false; 

            ...

        });

There is new event (itemClick) available since version 4.0.0 released for handling left click only !

$('#jqxWidget').bind('itemClick', function (event) {
      //Other codes goes here.
}
