Context Menu Interaction Design

Hey Dribbblers 🏀,

A context menu is a list of functions or options (respectively menu items) available to users in the current context. Menus are normally hidden from view (except menu bars) and drop down when users right-click an object or window region that supports a context menu. Context menus basically intends to give alternative access to modify the focused element and to access context specific functions.

  • Use context menus for well-known and frequently used functions only.

  • Provide items in the context menu for modification purpose and context sensitive functions but not to insert elements or for view options, for instance.

  • Do not use context menus as the only way to start a function. Always have a redundant access.

  • Always provide a context menu for inherent functions.

Don't forget to press "L" if you enjoy watching this ❤️.
