           Summary: Let users access the context menu regardless of
                    javascript button handling
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: Gtk
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: christian at twotoasts.de


Some web pages intercept the right mouse button, to show a context menu of
sorts, to make right-click remove items from a list or to simply suppress it
entirely. I would like users to be able to always have access to the genuine
context menu.

I see two ways:

Make WebKitGTK+ ignore javascript handling if Control is held while
right-clicking. This would make any WebKitGTK+ client accessible. I would
prefer that, but I don't know if everyone would agree about it.

Make it possible to manually show the context menu that WebKitGTK+ provides. So
clients could block button events and manually show the context menu, eg.
webkit_web_view_popup_context_menu ().
