Hi Paul

I program in VB.Net. In that environment you have to manually assign the context menu, populate it, and then write routines to handle the selection the user makes. The editor looks like a custom made object, so I doubt if it would be an easy change.

Thanks Graeme. I just had a very quick look at the ckeditor. Apparently if you press CTRL before you right click then a different context menu appears.

So, who configures the ckeditor. Can the moderators do it or is that a job for the site programmers?

You've lost me there. Ctl-C copies, Ctl-V pastes, Ctl-A all, Ctl-P print etc etc, just as normal Windows convention. Ctl-L pastes link. Is it because I is using Windows and Chrome?

Maybe an age thing (I've got lots of it) but I for one am getting confused.

My first thought was that there is no I in Leprechaun, then I discover there (nearly) is, because pedantically speaking its at one end (rather than 'in&#39. Murray confused me further because I thought he meant he (I) was using Chrome in Windows.

'I' and 'l' look very similar on my monitor.

As regards the OP's topic I think one has to accept the idiosyncrasies of this forum if one want to use it. I've long gone past expecting anything to change and am now of the opinion that it might be better to leave it is (on the devil you know etc)

Interesting. I have just found that if I ctrl right click I can use my spell checker. This only happens if it's an underlined error. It worked once anyway.

If I right click on a line that contains text I just get paste.

For copy paste I just use the browser facility rather than the one the forum uses. One irritating aspect of that is the font size may change but only going smaller. I tried larger out of curiosity. I notice that the font size on this forum is smaller than any other ones I am aware of. I've never been entirely happy with that aspect. I use a large high res screen. That might or might not have something to do with it. I suspect this must be tough for people who have significant vision problems.

Hi Muzzer

I have FireFox and IE11. It is not FireFox specific. Type some text in the editor, position the cursor amongst the text, then ctrl-rightclick.

On my machine, IE11 can show two context menus, depending on where the cursor is when I Ctrl-RightClick.

If I ctrl-rightclick in the text I get a context menu (cut,copy,paste,delete,send to one note, etc)

If I ctrl-rightclick over a word that has got the squiggly line underneath, which is indicating a mistake, I get a different context menu. The content of this context menu relates to handling the mistake (suggested new spelling, ignore, add to dictionary, undo etc).

I'll post some screen shots if I get time.

Suffice to say, the Ctrl appears to override the editors context menu, which is what the OP was requesting.

At the risk of labouring on. I think the context menu may have some dependency on the toolbar being used in the browser.

Glad it works for you Paul.
