Please add “Wrap with block container” shortcut there.

Please add a copy-paste CSS Style feature and Shift+Click to allow the selection of multiple items. Also, thanks for this new contextual menu.

Would be a great place to put a ‘recent styes’ selector.

Not wanting to be rude, but why choose this instead of improving global color or delete multiple photos in assets …

@lucaspchara This feature was actually a byproduct of some low-level (still invisible) improvements we’re making to make more rich element and CSS copy paste (including between different sites!) - and adding a context menu was just a little flourish that came as a bonus (and helps new users get started).

We’re already working on a completely overhauled asset manager, so improvements there are coming :smile:

@Maciej Great idea! Looking into it :smile:

I personally did not immediately feel the usefulness of this. It even felt as bloat. I am not saying it is not useful; I just did not get such a feeling at first try. I wonder if it would help new users get started, given that I cannot immediately grasp it as an experienced user.

(Btw I feel the same way about the bottom bar. It does have its application, but I realized it quite late. I wish there was a way to toggle it off when I wish, as it takes up screen space while at the same time I am rarely using it.)

Does it work only inside the design pane? I tried to activate it by right-clicking in the Navigator, but nothing seemed to appear there.

Great man!

I really miss the ability to use the interactions that I already set in other site. Always I have to redo the same interaction. Its a pain.

I know you guys going to sort this kind of trouble in the future!

Also it would be good to have right click menu in right panel with list of elements. Sometimes it’s hard to aim to click click specific element on the center pane.

That’s a great way to start my day today! Thanks for this feature

Excellent! Looking forward to see the context menus implemented in the toolbar on the right too!

Yes. looking forward to that tooooooooo!

This is very useful, thanks Webflow! I like using it to paste elements in before and after items especially in columns. :smiley:

Isn’t the bottom bar supposed to help one find the parent elements?

I’m using Mac (iMac and Mac Book) with OS El Captain. this mouse right click feature is little problem with Mac mouse or Track Pad. when I set both mouse and track pad and I couldn’t succeed to get context menu. I check with apple and I found this:

OS X El Capitan: Right-click
If you’re used to right-clicking on a Windows computer, you can use Control-click in a similar way on your Mac. If you have a Magic Mouse or other multiple-button mouse, you can configure the mouse to right-click the way you like best. On a trackpad, you can use a two-finger tap.

Open a shortcut (or contextual) menu: Hold down the Control key, then click an icon, a window, the toolbar, the desktop, or other item.

The options in shortcut menus depend on what you click.

Well, even after above suggested way I still can not open Webflow’s context menu and instead of following menu is open. There must be some conflict is going on , which is my Mac only?

Does anyone knows how to set-up Mac Mouse or Track Pad work.

Heya @soomstar, it looks like you’re clicking on the tools layer (the little pill that says H2 Title rather than the element itself. Can you try clicking on the element instead and seeing if that works?

Go go go! Very nice as usual guys :wink:
