Display Explorer View contextual menu with right click

[jessymallet]

• I have checked that this feature has not yet been suggested by someone else.

Expected behavior

When the user launch right click, the browser menu should not be always displayed. It will be useful to display the Sirius Web contextual menu.
For example, from the tree explorer view, it will be useful if the user can right-click on an element to display the Sirius Web contextual menu without needing to find the small dots button.

Hi 👋

I may be able to give a look into this.
But before I do, do you have any suggestion, recommendation or requirement on both code and UX aspects?

Also when googling about custom right-click context menu a lot of concerns arise on forums about how it can badly impact user experience.
Replacing the default browser behaviour can be something some user would definitely not want as it can interfere with their expectations and thus feel counter-intuitive or unnatural. Some suggests as a compromise to display the default menu, for example, on a second right-click.

So what is your take about this? Do you want to let the user be able to also display the default menu? if yes how in terms of UI?

Hello @ctmbl,

Thank your for your interest in this issue and the information provided.

Many users want this new behavior and after many discussions with the team, we agreed that it is best to display the context menu with the right-click instead of the left-click.

We will add an entry in the changelog to document and warn about that change.

Regards,
