Context Menu (Right-Click Menu)

Hi,

I am using the standard settings in CKEditor 3.1 and following images were captured in Firefox, but I see the same behaviour in IE8, Safari, Flock. (but NOT Opera 10.10, where right-clicking produces a similar behaviour as in picture #2 in both Normal and Source mode)

When not in 'Source' mode, when I right-click the mouse I get "Cut", "Copy" and "Paste" from CKEditor...,

...but when I switch to see the HTML in 'Source' mode, the context menu works as it normally does in the browser when CKEditor is not running.

How can I get the same right-click behaviour in normal mode as I get in 'Source' mode?
Basically, I would like to ALWAYS get the same context menu as I get in the second picture.

Anything I need to disable?!?

Its normal behavior of CKEditor. If you want to disable the context menu - read this topic.

Re: Context Menu (Right-Click Menu)

Hmmm...

I've looked at that topic and adding following line to my config.js only causes my CKEditor not to load at all..

config.removePlugins = 'scayt,menubutton,contextmenu';

..there's also a Javascript error:
Error: this._.menuGroups is undefined

Now my config.js looks like this

CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function( config ) 
{
 config.removePlugins = 'scayt,menubutton,contextmenu';
};

I can only get CKEditor to load again with the same line, but without 'scayt' in it:

config.removePlugins = 'menubutton,contextmenu';

In either case, CKEditor context menus still work in all my browsers. All my attempts to disable them have failed, so I am open for new ideas..

My primary goal is still to disable context menus permanently, for the entire CKEditor.

Thank you in advance!

Re: Context Menu (Right-Click Menu)

I revisited the topic you told me to look at and I realized that I had only copied the patched plugin.js file into my /_source folder and thought that it was enough to make it work. Then I learned from other posts that the ckeditor.js had to be repackaged. Once I did that, it all started to work as I wanted it to.

Thanks!

Re: Context Menu (Right-Click Menu)

config.removePlugins = 'scayt,menubutton,contextmenu';

Above line in config.js removes ckeditor's context menu in IE and Firefox.

In IE, browser context menu is also not showing. But in Firefox, browser context menu is still displaying.

I need to disable browser context menu in firefox too.

Help me please ............. ajithfrancis2001@gmail.com
