Right-click context menus
Hover-only toolbars on code blocks, tables, and mermaid diagrams have been replaced with native-style right-click context menus. The chrome is quieter, the actions are still discoverable (right-click is the universal "what can I do here?" gesture), and there's room to grow the menus without crowding the visible UI.
Where they're wired
| Surface | Menu items |
|---|---|
Code block (<pre>) | Copy · Download as file · Export as PNG · — · Show / Hide line numbers |
Table (.mid-table) | Copy as Markdown · Download CSV · Download JSON · — · Reset sort (when active) |
Mermaid (.mermaid) | Copy SVG · Download SVG · Download PNG |
File-tree row (.mid-tree-item, files only) | Open · Reveal in Finder |
Note row (.mid-note-row) | Open · Rename… · — · Delete |
Document body (.mid-preview) | Copy text · — · Export Markdown / HTML / PDF / PNG / Plain text |
Right-click on any nested element bubbles to the closest matching surface — e.g. right-click on a table cell opens the table menu, right-click on a code-block keyword opens the code menu. The body menu only fires when no other surface claimed the event.
What's still visible
- Code blocks keep the language pill (top-left) — visual cue, not an action.
- Tables > 5 rows keep a small filter+counter chip in the top-right (the filter is functional and not duplicated by the right-click menu).
- Sortable headers still cycle on click (asc → desc → unsorted).
Smaller tables (≤ 5 rows) hide the chip entirely so prose flows uninterrupted.
Implementation
openContextMenu(items, x, y) builds an absolutely-positioned .mid-context-menu overlay with a one-frame fade-in animation, auto-clamps to viewport edges, closes on outside-click or Esc, and routes each item to its action. Items are typed { icon?, label, kbd?, action?, separator?, disabled? }.
No main-process roundtrip — the menu is purely renderer-side, so it inherits the active theme tokens and animates with the rest of the chrome.

Verifying
- Right-click a code block → menu appears with Copy / Download / Export PNG / line-numbers toggle.
- Right-click a table → menu offers Copy as MD / CSV / JSON. Click the column header to sort, then right-click → Reset sort is enabled.
- Right-click a mermaid diagram → SVG / SVG download / PNG download.
- Right-click a file in the sidebar tree → Open / Reveal in Finder.
- Right-click a note row → Open / Rename / Delete.
- Right-click empty space in the preview → Copy text + 5 export formats.
- Esc closes the menu without firing any action.
