Electron already supports this.

Can you provide a link for their API?

[amrbashir]

Thank you, this API won't ship into tauri v1 and will have to wait for v2 and will need to be implemented upstream first, in muda.

[axelthat]

Gotcha, thanks!

Some discord discussion about context menu (a feature I'm much looking forward to use in Tauri, as it is currently a hard-blocker for my project).

Yeah it’s a feature we’re aware of, but no one had the bandwidth to work on yet. It’s also by no means a trivial feature

Advantages of a context menu:

• looks native
• easy sub-menus
• can overflow out of the window
• not having to care about accessibility
• keyboard navigation out of the box
• etc

Hello,
I would like to expand this feature request to the window menu bar as well.
Thanks

@KaKi87 Window menus are already possible

Isn't this issue about the JavaScript API ?

[vdvman1]

No, it's about being able to control the native right click context menu, right now the only option is to prevent the default context menu from showing and show a custom HTML menu

[KaKi87]

Yes, but I thought this issue would be about being able to do it from the JS API (@tauri-apps/api).

[vdvman1]

The issue doesn't even mention JS
Right now there is no API in JS or in Rust to modify the native context menu
