Rauno's Field Notes #2

> Our mitigation against context menu discoverability is to place the same actions in the detail view behind a regular dropdown menu. This is a pattern I'd like to use myself and see more commonly—the context menu as a shortcut but not the only method makes a lot of sense as a balance between the average user and power users. The only downside I see is that you're losing the browser's native context menu, but this is solved by behaviors like in Helium where `Shift+RightClick` forces the native menu[^1]. I'm not sure which other browsers if any implement that, however. [^1]: https://nitter.net/heliumbrowser/status/2080218122674376708#...
