How to disable CKEditor context menu?

Question

Does anybody know how to disable CKEditor\'s context (right click) menu? I would expect a configuration option, but I can\'t find one. I am using v3.1. Thanks.

Answer 1

It's possible to completely disable the context menu adding this line to your config file (tipically fckconfig.js):

FCKConfig.ContextMenu = [];

Answer 2

As of version 3.6.4, the other answers in this question don't work anymore. See bug #9284

The three plugins that need to be disabled (using the means discussed in this question), are contextmenu, liststyle and tabletools. So for example, using config files:

CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function(config) {
    /* Your config options */
    ...
    config.removePlugins = 'contextmenu,liststyle,tabletools';
};

Answer 3

There is still a practical solution, by overriding the prototype function that initializes contextmenu behavior:

CKEDITOR.dom.element.prototype.disableContextMenu = function () {
    this.on( 'contextmenu', function( event ) {
        // your contextmenu behavior
    });
};

NOTE: when CKEDITOR loads its JS resources dynamically you need to place it right before the replace call.

Answer 4

You need to remove the contextmenu plugin. See here for 3.1.

Answer 5

In CKEditor 4.x, (I tested 4.2.2) you must do both:

CKEDITOR.replace('my_editor', { removePlugins : 'contextmenu' });

And

CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function(config) {
/* Your config options */
...
config.removePlugins = ''liststyle,tabletools,contextmenu'';
};

All three of those will automatically require contextmenu if you don't disable them.

Ckeditor 4.7.1

CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function (config) {
  config.language = 'en';
  config.toolbar = "mini";
  config.removePlugins = 'elementspath,contextmenu,liststyle,tabletools,tableselection';
  config.disableNativeSpellChecker = false;
}

Ckeditor 4.8.0 ('elementspath' plugin no longer need to remove)

CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function (config) {
  config.language = 'en';
  config.toolbar = "mini";
  config.removePlugins = 'contextmenu,liststyle,tabletools,tableselection';
  config.disableNativeSpellChecker = false;
}
