Pop-up menu on text selection?

Post by Eddie_Editor »

Hello everyone :)
We're using Oxygen XML Author v24.1 build 2022041507, after years of using earlier versions. My boss just randomly discovered an interesting thing - Oxygen displayed a pop-up menu when he selected some text (see the attached image).

We have no idea how this happened, because we've never seen it before. But we'd love to know! Is there an option in the preferences somewhere, or how did he manage to activate this? Thanks in advance for any insight! :)

Hi,
This is the Floating Contextual Toolbar and was added in version 23 of Oxygen.
It is presented when a certain element or text from it is selected with the mouse:
https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... p1_mvx_smb
There is an option for enabling/disabling it in the Editor / Edit Modes / Author preferences page, named "Show floating contextual toolbar", but by default this is enabled.

This can also be customized using CSS:
https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... perty.html

The default configuration files for DITA are located in this directory: {oxygen-instalation-dir}\frameworks\dita\css\floating_toolbar

Best regards,
Cosmin
