Feature: right-click context menu
Originally reported by: Leon Arnott (Bitbucket: L, GitHub: Unknown)
Based on discussion in issue #68, it is proposed that right-clicking on the Story Map produce a contextual menu, housing at least one item ("New Passage Here") and potentially others (the 3 zoom options, maybe a toggle between issue #72's Hand Tool if that's implemented).
Concern: should the passage mouseover menu be relegated to a right-click menu, bringing Twine 2 back into parity with Twine 1 w/r/t contextual menus? I think the accessibility of the mouseover menu is a boon, insofar as it effortlessly reveals the "Set starting point" and "Test from here" functionality which I fear was a tad oft missed when it was in Twine 1's right-click menu. But maybe that's just paranoia on my part.

I completely agree that more story map tools are needed, such as clicking to drag and navigate, right clicking to bring up a menu, etc. I would also love connecting passages with clicks, so like right click on a passage "link to passage" then you click another and a link is made.
- Being able to see what story parts are connected to a particular story block on click and collapse all connected story blocks would be very helpful
- right click > highlight connected story blocks would be useful
- right click > group connected story blocks would be useful (for further shifting around on screen)
- absolutely dreamy would be able to change shape of story block to user specified shape! star/ cloud/ person /etc.
I agree access to a Context Menu is a good idea.
However the implementation needs to take into consideration how those that don't have a Right Mouse Button, like Apple and Mobile Device users, will access the same "context" functionality.
Yes, touchscreen device support is the main reason why we don't have this. It would have to be functionality that is accessible elsewhere in the app as well.
Press on an object to activate 'right click' on touch screen works on native app.
On Chrome on my Android phone press and hold on twineru story object doesn't respond .
Canvas object is a maybe option but cannot search for text in canvas objects.

@greyelf For Apple's one-button mice (now in a minority) ctrl + click simulates a right click
