Remove the Context Menu in TinyMCE

Question

TinyMCE has a built-in contextmenu which activates when you right-click in the content editor area. I need to remove this menu due to the copy/cut/paste in the menu. It for an application specific reason and less of a technical reason.

I have attempted to remove the contextmenu plugin as well as attempt to catch the contextmenu event and trap it without luck.

The easy solution is to remove the contextmenu plugin in your tinymce init:

 plugins : "inlinepopups,insertdatetime,fullscreen,contextmenu",

becomes

 plugins : "inlinepopups,insertdatetime,fullscreen",

I tried this previously; tried it again based on your comment and it worked - browser cache must have been beating on me. Thanks! – Chris Schuld Mar 05 '12 at 18:51

I did this with the but it initially didn't work, whenever I right-clicked I get a LINK in the contextual menu, so I went into my plugin and removed LINK from it and then it worked. – Jay Smoke Apr 26 '21 at 12:19

In version 5, context menu is built in the core. This has helped me:

tinymce.init({
    ...
    contextmenu: false,
    ...
});

Commenting this line in /plugins/contextmenu/editor_plugin.js worked for me:

f.addSeparator();f.add({title:"advanced.image_desc",icon:"image",cmd:h.plugins.advimage?"mceAdvImage":"mceImage",ui:true});

If for any reason you use the non-minified js, comment this:

m.addSeparator();
m.add({title : 'advanced.image_desc', icon : 'image', cmd : ed.plugins.advimage ? 'mceAdvImage' : 'mceImage', ui : true});

Try to remove the complete script in plugins/contextmenu/editor.plugin.js (It's only 1 line so it's sufficient to put 2 slashes at the start).

It works for me, the contextmenu no longer appears.

this would work, but it is very ugly because there is a way to configure the contextmenu (which will be no longer possible cause you fiddled with the source code!) – Thariama Mar 01 '12 at 08:21
