Right-Click Context Menus: Work Faster with Custom Actions
Speed is everything when you are managing multiple projects at once. That is why we shipped context menus — the fastest way to act on any item in your workspace.
What Are Context Menus?
Right-click (or long-press on mobile) any card, task, note, or list item and a menu appears with the most useful actions for that item. No more hunting through modals or sidebar panels.
What You Can Do
Context menus are context-aware — the options change based on what you are right-clicking:
On a Kanban Card:
- Edit title or description
- Move to a different column or board
- Duplicate the card
- Add/remove labels and assignees
- Delete
On a Task:
- Mark as complete
- Set due date
- Change priority
- Move to a different list
- Delete
On a Note:
- Open in full editor
- Export as Markdown
- Duplicate
- Delete
Keyboard Navigation
Context menus are fully keyboard-accessible. Open with Shift+F10 (or right-click), navigate with arrow keys, and confirm with Enter. Press Escape to dismiss.
Why This Matters
Before context menus, common actions required opening a detail modal, scrolling to the right section, and clicking through several steps. Now you can do the same thing in two clicks — or one keyboard shortcut.
For power users managing boards with dozens of cards, this is a significant speed boost.
Context menus are live now for all Monospace users. Try it: right-click anything in your workspace.
