ContextMenu

Menu of actions or options, opened by right-clicking (or long-pressing) its trigger surface. Supports nested submenus, checkbox/radio items, separators, and keyboard shortcuts. Open state is uncontrolled by default; pass onOpenChange to observe it.

Usage

import { ContextMenu, contextMenuAnatomy, ContextMenuCheckboxItem, ContextMenuContent, ContextMenuGroup, ContextMenuItem, ContextMenuLabel, ContextMenuPortal, ContextMenuRadioGroup, ContextMenuRadioItem, ContextMenuSeparator, ContextMenuShortcut, ContextMenuSub, ContextMenuSubContent, ContextMenuSubTrigger, ContextMenuTrigger } from "@desk/ui/components/context-menu";

Best practices

Use ContextMenu for a right-click / long-press menu on a surface; a menu opened by clicking a button or trigger is a DropdownMenu.
Wrap the target region in ContextMenuTrigger so the whole surface is right-clickable; use ContextMenuCheckboxItem / ContextMenuRadioGroup for stateful rows.

Props

ContextMenuCheckboxItem

Prop	Type	Default	Description
