Use case or problem
The command Show context menu under cursor
was introduced in v0.14.3 , however the menu is slightly different depending on how it’s invoked:
Steps to reproduce:
- assign a hotkey to
Show context menu under cursor
- enable spell check
- (optional) install some plugins that show context menu items (Notes Refactor, Creases, etc…)
When right click on the word
- the word becomes highlighted
- shows spell check corrections and
Add to dictionary
options - shows “Note Refactor” plugin context menus
- shows “Creases” plugin context menu shows
Proposed Solution
The context menu is different depending on how it’s invoked:
Highlight a word, triggered hotkey/command
- missing spell check corrections and
Add to dictionary
hotkey/command triggered when cursor is at the 3rd t
- missing spell check corrections and
Add to dictionary
- missing “Note Refactor” plugin context menus
- missing “Creases” plugin context menu
In all 3 cases, spell check corrections and Add to dictionary
should show up.
It kind of makes sense that some menu items don’t show when the cursor doesn’t have content highlighted, but a nice feature would be to have the context menu open on the word/line instead of just at the exact cursor position.
