- Moved CONTEXT_MENU_INDEX.md and CONTEXT_MENU_VERIFICATION.md into docs/ directory for better organization - Consolidated all context menu documentation files in one location for easier maintenance - Documentation remains complete with 1000+ lines covering implementation, integration, and verification The change improves documentation structure by moving context menu related files into a dedicated docs folder, making it easier for developers to find an

Context Menu - Quick Start Guide
🚀 5-Minute Setup
1. Files Created
Two new files have been created:
- ✅ 
src/components/context-menu/context-menu.component.ts- Standalone menu component - ✅ Enhanced 
src/components/file-explorer/file-explorer.component.ts- With menu integration 
2. What's Already Done
- ✅ Context menu component fully implemented
 - ✅ Integrated into file-explorer
 - ✅ All 7 actions defined (with TODO placeholders for VaultService calls)
 - ✅ 8-color palette with localStorage persistence
 - ✅ Folder icon color changes based on selection
 - ✅ Smooth animations and adaptive positioning
 - ✅ ESC key and click-outside close handlers
 
3. How to Use
Right-Click on a Folder
- Navigate to the Folders section in the sidebar
 - Right-click on any folder
 - The context menu appears at your cursor
 
Available Actions
| Action | Description | 
|---|---|
| 📁 Create subfolder | Create a new folder inside the selected folder | 
| ✏️ Rename | Rename the selected folder | 
| 📋 Duplicate | Create a copy of the folder | 
| 📄 Create new page | Create a new markdown file in the folder | 
| 🔗 Copy internal link | Copy [[path/to/folder]] to clipboard | 
| 🗑️ Delete folder | Delete the folder (with confirmation) | 
| ⚠️ Delete all pages | Delete all pages in the folder (with confirmation) | 
Color Palette
Click any of the 8 colored circles to change the folder icon color:
- 🔵 Sky Blue, Blue, Green, Yellow
 - 🟠 Orange, Red, Purple, Gray
 
Colors are saved automatically and persist across sessions.
4. Current State
Implemented & Working:
- ✅ Menu UI and animations
 - ✅ Position calculation and viewport adaptation
 - ✅ Color selection and persistence
 - ✅ Copy internal link (fully functional)
 - ✅ Confirmation dialogs for delete operations
 
TODO - Needs VaultService Integration:
- ⏳ Create subfolder
 - ⏳ Rename folder
 - ⏳ Duplicate folder
 - ⏳ Create new page
 - ⏳ Delete folder
 - ⏳ Delete all pages
 
5. Next Steps
To complete the implementation, you need to connect the actions to VaultService:
// In file-explorer.component.ts
private createSubfolder() {
  const name = prompt('Enter subfolder name:');
  if (!name) return;
  // ADD THIS:
  this.vaultService.createFolder(this.ctxTarget!.path, name);
}
private renameFolder() {
  const newName = prompt('Enter new folder name:', this.ctxTarget!.name);
  if (!newName || newName === this.ctxTarget!.name) return;
  // ADD THIS:
  this.vaultService.renameFolder(this.ctxTarget!.path, newName);
}
// ... and so on for other actions
6. Testing
Manual Testing:
- Build the project: 
npm run build - Start the dev server: 
npm run dev - Navigate to Folders in sidebar
 - Right-click on any folder
 - Verify menu appears and all features work
 
Test Checklist:
- Menu appears on right-click
 - Menu closes on ESC
 - Menu closes on click outside
 - Color selection works
 - Color persists after reload
 - Copy link works (check clipboard)
 - Delete confirmations appear
 
7. Customization
Change Color Palette
Edit context-menu.component.ts:
colors = ['#0ea5e9','#3b82f6','#22c55e',...]; // Add/remove colors
Change Menu Width
Edit the .ctx style:
.ctx {
  min-width: 14rem;  /* Change this value */
}
Change Animation Speed
Edit the animation:
animation: fadeIn .12s ease-out;  /* Change .12s to desired duration */
8. Browser Support
- ✅ Chrome/Edge 90+
 - ✅ Firefox 88+
 - ✅ Safari 14+
 - ✅ Mobile browsers (iOS Safari, Chrome Mobile)
 
9. Keyboard Shortcuts
| Key | Action | 
|---|---|
| ESC | Close menu | 
| Right-click | Open menu | 
10. Troubleshooting
Menu doesn't appear?
- Check if right-click is working (not disabled by CSS)
 - Verify folder item has 
(contextmenu)="openContextMenu($event, folder)" 
Colors not saving?
- Check if localStorage is enabled
 - Open DevTools → Application → Local Storage → look for 
folderColors 
Copy link not working?
- Check browser console for errors
 - Verify clipboard permissions are granted
 - Try in a different browser

12. Performance Notes
- Menu uses 
ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPushfor optimal performance - Signals-based state management (no unnecessary change detection)
 - Efficient color storage using Map + localStorage
 - Minimal DOM footprint (only visible when needed)
 
13. Accessibility
- ✅ Keyboard support (ESC to close)
 - ✅ ARIA labels on color circles
 - ✅ Semantic HTML (role="button", role="menu")
 - ✅ High contrast colors
 - ✅ Touch-friendly on mobile
 
14. Known Limitations
- Actions are currently placeholders (need VaultService implementation)
 - No keyboard navigation (arrow keys) yet
 - No submenu support
 - No drag & drop integration
