context menus
Pop-up command lists
Context menus are lists of options that appear when you right-click (or long-press on touchscreens) on an item.
They're called context menus because the options change based on what you clicked—right-clicking a file offers different choices than right-clicking empty space.
I right-clicked and selected "Copy" from the context menu.
