<h1>
Context Menu</h1>
<p>
The <strong>Context Menu</strong> is a pop-up menu that appears whenever you
click a file or a folder inside the CKFinder interface with the right mouse
button, use the <em>Menu/Application</em> key on your keyboard, or the
<em>(Ctrl+)Shift+F10</em> keyboard shortcut. It gives you access to file browser
operations that are available for a given type of object.</p>
<p>The context menu can also be opened by clicking the down arrow icon
(<img src="../../files/images/CKFinder_menu_arrow.png" width="9" height="7" alt="" />)
that is available in some environments or in mobile browsers next the name of the
active folder or in the file boxes, as visible in the figure below.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">

<p>Each context menu consists of a series of options (commands) that can be
selected in order to perform a specific operation that they are associated
with.</p>
<p>
<span class="info">Note:</span> Some context menu options may be disabled (and
thus grayed out), depending on CKFinder settings enforced by your system
administrator.</p>
<h2>
Using the Context Menu</h2>
<p>
In order to perform an operation listed in the context menu, click it with the
left mouse button. You can also move up and down the context menu with the
<em>Up</em> and <em>Down Arrow</em> keys or the <em>Shift+Tab</em> and
<em>Tab</em> combinations. Once an option is highlighted, you can activate
it with the <em>Space</em> or <em>Enter</em> button. If an option is grayed out,
it is unavailable unless some pre-conditions are met (e.g. you have system
permissions to make specific changes to a file or folder).</p>
<h2>
Available Menus</h2>
<p>
The menu is context-sensitive which means that the options displayed in it
depend on the object that you select. The following are the menus that you may
encounter while working with a standard CKFinder installation.</p>
<h3>
Folder Context Menu</h3>

It appears when you click a folder in the <strong><a href="003.html">Folders Pane</a>
