	#1  ggutierrez.marketscan 08:36 Mar 11, 2005	I would like to see a right-click menu in FLTK. I was only able to psot this under v1.2 or v2.0 but I would like to see this for the 1.1.x tree. For a Better explanation, I will quote Greg Ercolano: "... a right-click copy/paste menu (default off) for all Input/Output/Editor/Display widgets, if only for consistency with other toolkits/apps that inherit this by default. Display/Output only widgets would of course have 'Paste' automatically grayed out.. Maybe two approaches could be available, with the defaults 'off' for back compat: Fl_Input_::pastemenu(true/false); // per widget enable/disable Fl::pastemenu(true/false); // system wide enable(overrides per-widget behavior if true)"
	#2  AlbrechtS 03:47 Apr 23, 2008	IMHO a good idea, but if this would be implemented, then it would also be needed to be able to populate the menu entries for different languages (as in fl_ask.cxx: fl_no, fl_yes etc. ?). And it would be useful to "gray out" or even hide some menu entries, if necessary for a certain reason.
	#3  greg.ercolano 12:25 Feb 05, 2009	FWIW, here's an example of how to implement the copy/paste menu. Or at least, one of probably many ways: http://seriss.com/people/erco/fltk/#PopupCopyPasteMenu
	#4  matt 03:19 Jan 20, 2023	I had that on my internal list at least as long as this STR is old, so, um, I guess I'll assign this to myself.
	#5  greg.ercolano 09:35 Oct 24, 2023	To allow users to customize the menu, they can just leave the default behavior of "off" so they can use the 2009 technique I recommended in comment #3 to make their own menu as they see fit. This way we don't have to worry about providing an API to all the widgets to reconfigure the menus.
	#6  greg.ercolano 09:41 Oct 24, 2023	This could be a radio button in fluid too: Copy/Paste menu? (On/Off/Default) ..where "Default" inherits the default global behavior and would be the default selection. Setting it to "Off" forces it off even if the global behavior is "On", so that a custom menu can be used on a specific widget, and global on for all the rest.
	#7  matt 13:55 Nov 25, 2023	Fixed in Git repository.
