Add Edit Content to Right-Click Context Menu

Post by shade-cabin-hammock »

Hello,

Is there any way I can ADD something to the

Right-Click

Context menu. The ONE command I use a lot -

Edit Content

2023-01-11_18-15-49-003.png

Is not there.

Sincerely,

SCH

Hello shade-cabin-hammock,

Context menus are dynamically generated and differ depending on where you right clicked and what was under your mouse pointer.
So no - there is no way to add elements to these menus. Also - to be able to edit base content text you need to switch to a different tool, so that the Editor knows that you want to now edit said base content, while it would initially have offered you tools to work with annotations 'over' the base.

Kind regards,
Stefan

You can add whatever command (like Text or Edit Content) to whatever toolbar (like for preference the Quick Tools toolbar).
After this, you can reach that command with only one click.

What is the advantage to add additional commands explicitly to the context menu ?
That needs two clicks.

Kind regards.
