Context Menu with Submenus for React

ContextMenuSub wraps a ContextMenuSubTrigger, with its icon and label, and a ContextMenuSubContent with the nested items. Hovering the trigger or pressing the right arrow opens it, and the left arrow closes it.

One level, as here. Each extra level is another path for the pointer to lose; past that, open a dialog instead.

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.

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.

Pass onClick to each ContextMenuItem.

The menu closes after the action runs.

The arrow keys move through an open menu, Enter runs an item and Escape closes it. A right-click is easy to miss, so also offer the same actions from a visible button, such as a Dropdown Menu.
