When a file or folder in the Files pane is right clicked, a context menu appears. This event can be captured by using registerEvent(this.app.workspace.on("file-menu", delegate)).
What I want to achieve is to add a menu item to the context menu whenever multiple items in the Files pane are selected using Alt+Click and the user right clicks. Currently, only two items are visible for me in this menu, “Move x items to…” and “Delete”.
Unfortunately the file-menu event is not triggered in this scenario and I could not find anything related to this in the documentation. How can I capture this event, and the related information such as which files/folders were selected when the user right clicked?
Phew, I did a deep dive into this today for a plugin I was working on. In case you were still puzzling over this, there’s a files-menu event that triggers when right-clicking multiple files (as of Obsidian v1.3.5, at least). Just replace the name of the event and that should get you what you need!
Unfortunately, no. I found this in the developer console for Obsidian by digging through app.js in the Sources tab. That was after a very lengthy and fruitless search for online discussion or documentation.
