Context menu
A menu that appears on right-click or long-press.
A context menu pops up exactly where the user clicks (right-click on desktop, long-press on touch). It contains actions specific to whatever was clicked — Cut, Copy, Paste on text; Edit, Delete, Share on a list item.
Context menus are powerful for power users but invisible to beginners. Always provide an alternative way to reach the same actions, like a more icon (...) or a toolbar button.
