Font and Style Menu Context Menu for Solid

A right-click text menu with Font Family and Font Size submenus, then Text Color and Highlight Color.

UI library: Ark UI

The dashed area reads Right click here. Font Family lists five fonts, from Arial to Verdana. Font Size lists Small (12px) through Extra Large (20px). Text Color and Highlight Color follow.

Use it where formatting should sit on the selection. A Select in a toolbar is easier for the current font. In Solid, Ark UI does not apply the typeface.

FAQ

How are the submenus built?

ContextMenuSub wraps a ContextMenuSubTrigger, with its icon and label, and a ContextMenuSubContent with the nested items. Hovering the trigger or pressing the right arrow opens it, and the left arrow closes it.

How are the icons added?

A Lucide icon as the first child of each item, hidden from assistive tech since the label names the action. The menu styles size and space it.

What opens the menu?

A right-click inside the dashed area, which reads Right click here on a mouse and Long press here on a touch screen. The area is ContextMenuTrigger; a long press on it opens the menu too. Wrap your own row, file or canvas in the trigger instead.

How do I run an action when an item is chosen?

Each item has a value; handle onSelect on ContextMenu, which receives { value }.

The menu closes after the action runs.

How do keyboard and touch users find these actions?

The arrow keys move through an open menu, Enter runs an item and Escape closes it. A right-click is easy to miss, so also offer the same actions from a visible button, such as a Dropdown Menu.

How do I show the current font?

Make each submenu a radio group, as the radio items example does, so the current font and size are checked.
