FAQ

How are the section labels added?

Each label is a ContextMenuGroupLabel at the top of a ContextMenuGroup with the items it names. The label isn't selectable; screen readers announce it as the group's name.

Where do the separators go?

Between the sections and before Log Out, each a ContextMenuSeparator outside the groups.

How is the destructive item styled?

variant="destructive" on ContextMenuItem colors it with the destructive token, icon included. Keep it last, after a separator, and confirm with an Alert Dialog when it can't be undone.

How are the icons added?

A Lucide icon as the first child of each item, hidden from assistive tech since the label names the action. The menu styles size and space it.

How do I run an action when an item is chosen?

Pass onClick to each ContextMenuItem.

The menu closes after the action runs.

What opens the menu?

A right-click inside the dashed area, which reads Right click here on a mouse and Long press here on a touch screen. The area is ContextMenuTrigger; a long press on it opens the menu too. Wrap your own row, file or canvas in the trigger instead.
