context menu
Pop-up command list
A context menu is a menu that appears when you right-click (or long-press on touchscreens), offering options relevant to whatever you clicked on.
The menu is contextual—right-click a word and you might see options to copy or define it; right-click an image and you can save or open it.
I right-clicked to bring up the context menu and selected "Paste."
