Canvas Context Menu UI Design
Overview
This document describes the standardized, extensible context menus for the visual page designer design canvas. This document is tentative and subject to change.
Top-level layout
The top-level menu has the following main sub-menu structure:
Note that the actual sub-menus present are selection specific, but in keeping with UI Guidelines 6.12 and 6.13, for the same type of selection object, the menu structures should always be constant. The sub-menus break down as follows:
- Edit: Contains all edit actions normally associated with this standard menu
- Select: Actions that change the current mouse selection relative to the current selection.
- Insert: Actions that add new objects to the canvas relative to the current selection.
- Navigate: Actions that navigate to other objects linked to the current selection by some implicit or explicit association.
- Style: Actions that modify the CSS style of the current selection
- Show: Actions that show a particular view related to the current selection.
Edit
The "Edit" sub-menu contains the standard Eclipse edit actions like Undo and Clipboard operations. The ordering of the actions follows Eclipse UI guideline 6.11.
