Layer Management Menu Context Menu for Svelte

A right-click Layer Options menu to duplicate, merge, or flatten a layer, or to show and hide it.

UI library: Ark UI

The dashed area reads Right click here. A Layer Options label sits over Duplicate Layer, Merge Down, and Flatten Layer. Show Layer and Hide Layer follow.

Use it on the layer that was clicked, not on a distant layers panel. A Dropdown Menu on the layer row covers the same jobs. In Svelte, Ark UI does not hide the layer.

FAQ

How are the section labels added?

Each label is a ContextMenuGroupLabel at the top of a ContextMenuGroup with the items it names. The label isn't selectable; screen readers announce it as the group's name.

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.

Should I show Show Layer and Hide Layer together?

Show the one that applies to the layer's current state. The demo lists both to show the pair.
