In Scratch 1.4, when you right click a (1 + 1) Block, you get this menu:

((1) + (1))

And this was really cool!
I'd like to get that back.

I'm sure that it's a dupe, let me find it. I know that because I suggested it and it was a dupe. And I'm pretty sure that that feature was also there in 2.0, but don't quote me on that.

Thank you! Next time, please write WHY you support. Writing this because it's against the scratch rules to just “support”

It isn’t it’s just discouraged

And by the way i don’t like that rule because it prevents me from writing things in a hurry.

You're allowed to report it.

Why is it?

bump

It was also in 2.0 by the way

I would like it for all related blocks, not just the operators (like option for hide when right clicking show etc) so it’s more consistent and broader. Nono word has this and is extremely helpful dealing with similar scripts or if you made a mistake

Temporary attachment. Also, this is definitely a dupe, I've seen a topic about this before, and it's not this one. Can't find it, though.

And you used a backslash instead of a forward slash, so the tag didn't close.

Great big, five-year bump. Wow! Another topic was just closed as a duplicate of this one:

Right-clicking on operator blocks to change operator (+, *, - and /) by @bitmap_caketin

Note that although that topic was officially closed as a dupe of this one (@Paddle2See linked here), @TimothyLawyer also provided a link to another topic. It's related and contains relevant discussion, but is about swapping blocks with the context menu, more generally.

Right-clicking to change blocks removed in 3.0, please add it back in. by @ninjachickun

In my opinion this current topic could be closed and combined with the second one, in order to keep the conversation more centralized: it makes sense that the math blocks should be part of that block-swapping, and people have said so there, even on the very first page. (Note that other topics have previously been merged into that one, too.)

Discussion could continue here if there's a very specific desire to see this particular block swap reintroduced, with no interest in the other possible swaps, such as “<”, “=” and “>”, or “if” and “if-else”. Maybe so! We could find out with this bump, after all. But IMO this topic has been much less active than @ninjachickun's, so I'd still personally continue the conversation, there.
