Right clicking in Webflow just got a whole lot more useful.
Now, instead of the boring old browser default menu, you’ll see an awesome Webflow menu packed with useful options, including Copy, Paste, and Duplicate. Not to mention some nifty new features like Pick Parent Element, which lets you easily select any element’s parent.
Awesome! Great minds think alike. Had been wondering if this would be a good feature to add to the wishlist for awhile now. You guys launched it before I even made a move. A small but very convenient addition. Great work! Keep it coming!
@lucaspchara This feature was actually a byproduct of some low-level (still invisible) improvements we’re making to make more rich element and CSS copy paste (including between different sites!) - and adding a context menu was just a little flourish that came as a bonus (and helps new users get started).
We’re already working on a completely overhauled asset manager, so improvements there are coming
I personally did not immediately feel the usefulness of this. It even felt as bloat. I am not saying it is not useful; I just did not get such a feeling at first try. I wonder if it would help new users get started, given that I cannot immediately grasp it as an experienced user.
(Btw I feel the same way about the bottom bar. It does have its application, but I realized it quite late. I wish there was a way to toggle it off when I wish, as it takes up screen space while at the same time I am rarely using it.)
Does it work only inside the design pane? I tried to activate it by right-clicking in the Navigator, but nothing seemed to appear there.
Also it would be good to have right click menu in right panel with list of elements. Sometimes it’s hard to aim to click click specific element on the center pane.
