    Description

      The following example prints "TAP" on right clicks until Qt 5.15.2.

      With Qt 6.2 / 6.3 this stops working (haven't tried Qt 6.0/6.1).

      Motivation for intercepting a right click is to show a desktop text context menu (Cut/Copy/Paste) which (unfortunately) is still not available out-of-the box with TextField/TextArea.

      import QtQuick 2.15
import QtQuick.Controls 2.15
import QtQuick.Window 2.15

Window {
  width: 640
  height: 480
  visible: true
  title: qsTr("Hello World")

  TextField {
    anchors.centerIn: parent
    width: 200
    text: "Hello"
    selectByMouse: true

    TapHandler {
      acceptedButtons: Qt.RightButton
      acceptedDevices: PointerDevice.Mouse
      onTapped: {
        console.log("TAP")
      }
    }
  }
}
