    Description

      Native applications are expected to offer a context menu for input fields.

      This is currently missing from QtQuick controls.

      The example code below was my implementation for QtQuick 1.1. Though it should be easy to port this to QtQuick 2, I would have expected this to work out of the box.

      import QtQuick 1.1
import QtDesktop 0.1 as Desktop

MouseArea {
  id: editorContextMenu

  property Item editor
  signal menuShown

  anchors.fill: parent
  acceptedButtons: Qt.RightButton
  onPressed: {
    // selection gets lost due to focus loss
    var selectionStart = editor.selectionStart
    var selectionEnd = editor.selectionEnd
    var pos = mapToItem(null, mouseX, mouseY)
    menuLoader.sourceComponent = menuComponent
    menuLoader.item.showPopup(pos.x, pos.y)
    editor.select(selectionStart, selectionEnd)
    menuShown()
  }

  Component {
    id: menuComponent
    // Desktop.ContextMenu kann nicht direkt im Loader benutzt werden, da kein Item
    Item {
      function showPopup(x, y) {
        editmenu.showPopup(x, y)
      }
      Desktop.ContextMenu {
        id: editmenu

        onMenuClosed: menuLoader.sourceComponent = null

        Desktop.MenuItem {
          text: qsTr("cut")
          onTriggered: editor.cut()
          enabled: editor.selectedText.length > 0
        }
        Desktop.MenuItem {
          text: qsTr("copy")
          onTriggered: editor.copy()
          enabled: editor.selectedText.length > 0
        }
        Desktop.MenuItem {
          text: qsTr("paste")
          onTriggered: editor.paste()
          enabled: editor.canPaste
        }
      }
    }
  }
  Loader {
    id: menuLoader
  }
}
