PEP 810 Proposes Explicit Lazy Imports for Python 3.15
An opt-in lazy import keyword aims to speed up Python startups, especially CLIs, without the ecosystem-wide risks that sank PEP 690.
electron-editor-context-menu
Advanced tools
In Electron, right-clicking in text editors does… nothing.
This module enables the menu you'd expect, with optional spell-checker integration.
npm install electron-editor-context-menu --save
// In the renderer process:
var remote = require('electron').remote;
// `remote.require` since `Menu` is a main-process module.
var buildEditorContextMenu = remote.require('electron-editor-context-menu');
window.addEventListener('contextmenu', function(e) {
// Only show the context menu in text editors.
if (!e.target.closest('textarea, input, [contenteditable="true"]')) return;
var menu = buildEditorContextMenu();
// The 'contextmenu' event is emitted after 'selectionchange' has fired but possibly before the
// visible selection has changed. Try to wait to show the menu until after that, otherwise the
// visible selection will update after the menu dismisses and look weird.
setTimeout(function() {
menu.popup(remote.getCurrentWindow());
}, 30);
});
Show spelling suggestions by passing a selection object when building the menu:
var selection = {
isMisspelled: true,
spellingSuggestions: [
'men',
'mean',
'menu'
]
};
var menu = buildEditorContextMenu(selection);
Get these suggestions when your spell-check provider runs
—Electron will poll it immediately before the 'contextmenu'
event fires.
