[Bug 1459127] [NEW] Missing contextMenu features

 

Public bug reported:

As of http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~oxide-
developers/oxide/oxide.trunk/revision/1094, support for context menus
was added to the WebView API. The implementation is incomplete as
pointed out by Chris at https://code.launchpad.net/~osomon/oxide
/context-menu/+merge/257351/comments/649385. I’m copying here an excerpt
of his comment:

« there's a few use cases that are missing:
- Open link / image / audio / video in new tab / window don't have any way to pass referrer information when appropriate. I'm not sure how best to handle that.
- Copy image to clipboard (for image + canvas)
- Controlling the media element (play / pause / mute)
- Save page (there should be a WebView API for this)
- Reload frame (there should be a WebView API for this).

It's ok to leave these cases unimplemented for this iteration, but we
should have follow up bugs for them. »

Let’s use this bug report to track the implementation of those features
(if relevant we can split in several bug reports for each feature).
