Feature: Add contextual right-click menu in the code editor

Increasing Access

• Improves usability for beginners
• Makes common actions more discoverable
• Aligns the editor experience with modern IDE workflows
• Reduces reliance on keyboard shortcuts

Feature request details

Currently, right-clicking inside the code editor does not show any contextual options. This makes it harder for users to quickly access common actions such as running the sketch, navigating to documentation, or formatting code.

Many modern editors provide contextual menus that improve discoverability and workflow efficiency.

Proposed Solution

Introduce a contextual right-click menu inside the code editor with commonly used actions.

Example actions could include:

• Run sketch
• Stop sketch
• Go to definition
• Go to documentation
• Cut / Copy / Paste
• Format document
• Find

I created a small mockup to demonstrate how this could look:

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the code editor integration and review the attached mockup and proposed actions; done means a contextual right-click menu appears in the editor and provides the agreed common actions.
