Clicking on the Wifi icon in the menu bar while pressing and holding the option key presents the user with a different and detailed view. The option-key is a nice feature. It works on a lot of the menu bar icons as well (sound and bluetooth).

I'd be nice if I could set this feature as the default action when interacting with those menu bar items.

How can I set this to be the default action on El Capitan?

Until now I've only found a workaround:

Install BetterTouchTool and create a special trackpad gesture or mouse gesture to invoke an option+click. In the example below I use the trackpad and a 3 finger double-tap in Global to do that:

From now on a 3 finger double-tap on the Wi-Fi menulet (and other menulets) will reveal the advanced or detailed view.

  • creative solution though I'd probably want to opt for pressing the keyboard button than install a new software to handle one thing. Regardless, Thanks for your contribution! I may consider it in the end
