Context menus

A right-click opens a context menu with the commands that fit what you clicked. It is the menu of your operating system, so it looks and works like the other menus there. On macOS, a Control-click opens it as well. On Windows and Linux, the context menu key and Shift+F10 open it next to the focused element, and each command has an access key, such as T for Open link in new tab. The menus follow the language of the browser, English or German, which is the language of the system unless you choose another.

In a web page

What you click	Commands
A link	Open link in new tab, Copy link address
An image	Open image in new tab, Copy image, Copy image address
Selected text	Copy, Search for the selection
A text field	Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Select all
Anything else	Back, Forward, Reload

Menus in a web page end with Inspect, which opens the developer tools at the element you clicked. Inspect is missing on the browser’s own pages, and where an organization turns the developer tools off with the policy DeveloperToolsAvailability.

An image inside a link gets the commands of both. A command that cannot run at the moment is grayed out, such as Undo in a field you have not changed.

• New tabs: links and images open in a new tab next to the page, in the background. Several of them line up in the order you opened them. A search opens in a new tab in the foreground. Only web addresses (http and https) open from a page. Links and images with other addresses, such as internal pages of the browser, local files or scripts, do not open from the menu, but their address can be copied.
• Search: the search uses the search engine of the address bar. The menu names the engine by its address, such as duckduckgo.com, and shows the first 50 characters of the selection. Password fields and very long selections have no search.
• Text fields: on Windows and Linux, the menu also shows the keyboard shortcut of each command; context menus on macOS show none. Spell checking is not available yet; once it is, suggestions for a misspelled word appear at the top of the menu.
• Copy image: copies the picture itself. An image in a frame of another website cannot be copied this way; copy its address instead.

In the address bar

The address bar has the menu of a text field: Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste and Select all.
