Dependency

Configuration

First

Bind ctxmenu:show to some key. 

(require 'ctxmenu)
(require 'ctxmenu-config)
(define-key global-map (kbd "M-@") 'ctxmenu:show)

Helper function

You need to set ctxmenu:sources/ctxmenu:global-sources for the definition of the menu contents.
Setting it manually is OK. But, the following helper function is defined for set it easily.

Basic features

The basic contents is defined in ctxmenu-config.el.
You can load it by the following config. 

(ctxmenu-config:setup)

Feature is the symbol that ctxmenu-config:setup uses for looking up the loaded definition.
About the basic features, eval (describe-variable 'ctxmenu-config:default-features).

Extra features

The extra contents is defined in ctxmenu-config.el too.
If you want to load it, moreover use ctxmenu-config:extra-features like the following. 

(ctxmenu-config:setup ctxmenu-config:extra-features)

Exclude features

If you don't want to load some definition, set ctxmenu-config:exclude-features like the following before ctxmenu-config:setup. 

(setq ctxmenu-config:exclude-features '(window register))

Other config

You can add the contents what you want by ctxmenu:add-source.
About usage, eval (describe-function 'ctxmenu:add-source) or see ctxmenu-config.el.

Also, you can change behavior by customize variable.
For more information, eval (customize-group "ctxmenu").

Consideration

Clear cache

The menu contents are created at first, and then they are reused in same mode buffer.
If you change the definition of the menu contents, do ctxmenu:clear-cache for reflection.

Position of menu

In default, a context menu is shown on the start position of current window.
You can show it on the current position by setting ctxmenu:show-at-pointed non-nil.
But, in the case, it might happen that a context menu is not shown so well.

Config by ctxmenu-config:setup

There are the config by ctxmenu-config:setup that find the contents of menu from the key stroke.
If you change the key bind from default, it might happen that the contents of menu is not right.
In the case, you should set ctxmenu-config:exclude-features and customize for you.

Tested On

Enjoy!!!
