Context menu is missing

Open Jermolene opened this issue 11 years ago • 5 comments

node-webkit doesn't provide context menus. We need to add context menus for:

  • text editting
  • hyperlinks

text editing = copying / pasting ? If so then yes go ahead!

@Spangenhelm that's right.

Copy and paste would be very nice because currently it's impossible to follow a link without editing the article first to then copy the URL.

@Jermolene - Would it be possible to make copy smarter by copying the link if the link was clicked on first. It would be a stop-gap measure before implementing a menu.

It looks like the code would go into source/js/utils/links.js. Instead of always doing $tw.desktop.gui.Shell.openExternal(href) maybe it could check for an alt-key or something to allow for copy of the URL? I don't know if JS allows you to get a right-click. Alas my JavaScript knowledge is old and weak.

copying links with a context menu seems like an important feature, any progress on it?
