 # Custom context menu
 
-<!-- TODO: write content for this page -->
+The `contextMenuItems` prop lets you add your own actions to the native
+text-selection menu - the popover that e.g. shows **Copy / Paste / Cut** when the
+user long-presses selected text.
+
+:::info
+
+This is a **native-only** feature (iOS and Android) - which
+is why this page has no live preview. To see it in action, run the snippet below in the
+[example app](https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-enriched-html/tree/main/apps/example).
+
+:::
+
+## The shape of an item
+
+```ts
+interface ContextMenuItem {
+  text: string; // the label shown in the menu
+  visible?: boolean; // whether to show it (defaults to true)
+  onPress: (args: {
+    text: string; // the currently selected text
+    selection: { start: number; end: number }; // its range
+    styleState: OnChangeStateEvent; // active styles
+  }) => void;
+}
+```
+
+Every `onPress` receives the same three-field payload, resolved at the moment
+the item is tapped:
+
+- **`text`** - the selected text.
+- **`selection`** - the `start` and `end` offsets of the selection.
+- **`styleState`** - the latest style state, the same object you get from
+  `onChangeState`.
+
+`visible` is read when the menu opens, so you can drive it from state to show an
+item only in the right context.
+
+## Example
+
+This editor adds three items. The first two read the selection payload and run an
+editor command. The third links the selection, so it's only shown via `visible`
+when there's actually a ranged selection to link:
+
+```tsx
+import { EnrichedTextInput } from 'react-native-enriched-html';
+import type {
+  ContextMenuItem,
+  EnrichedTextInputInstance,
+  OnChangeSelectionEvent,
+} from 'react-native-enriched-html';
+import { useMemo, useRef, useState } from 'react';
+import { View, StyleSheet, Alert } from 'react-native';
+
+export default function App() {
+  const ref = useRef<EnrichedTextInputInstance>(null);
+  const [selection, setSelection] = useState<OnChangeSelectionEvent | null>(
+    null
+  );
+
+  const hasRangedSelection = !!selection && selection.start !== selection.end;
+
+  const contextMenuItems: ContextMenuItem[] = useMemo(
+    () => [
+      {
+        // `text` and `selection` describe what the user long-pressed.
+        text: 'Show selection',
+        onPress: ({ text, selection: range }) => {
+          Alert.alert(
+            'Selection',
+            `"${text}" at [${range.start}, ${range.end}]`
+          );
+        },
+      },
+      {
+        // Menu items can call any editor command through the ref.
+        text: 'Bold',
+        onPress: () => {
+          ref.current?.toggleBold();
+        },
+      },
+      {
+        // Only useful with a ranged selection, so hide it otherwise; when
+        // shown, `selection` lets you target the exact range you were given.
+        text: 'Link to Software Mansion',
+        visible: hasRangedSelection,
+        onPress: ({ text, selection: range }) => {
+          ref.current?.setLink(
+            range.start,
+            range.end,
+            text,
+            'https://swmansion.com'
+          );
+        },
+      },
+    ],
+    [hasRangedSelection]
+  );
+
+  return (
+    <View style={styles.container}>
+      <EnrichedTextInput
+        ref={ref}
+        style={styles.input}
+        placeholder="Select some text, then long-press it..."
+        contextMenuItems={contextMenuItems}
+        onChangeSelection={(e) => setSelection(e.nativeEvent)}
+      />
+    </View>
+  );
+}
+
+const styles = StyleSheet.create({
+  container: { gap: 12 },
+  input: {
+    fontSize: 18,
+    color: '#232736',
+    padding: 12,
+    borderRadius: 12,
+    minHeight: 96,
+    backgroundColor: '#eef0ff',
+  },
+});
+```

+Item placement differs per platform. On **iOS** your items appear in array
+order, before the system items (Copy/Paste/Cut). On **Android** there is no
+guaranteed order, and depending on the device manufacturer your items may be
+tucked into an overflow submenu.

+# Emojis
+
+Mentions are powerful enough that you can build much more with them. An emoji picker is just a mention where the display text does not match the query. We'll use `:` as the indicator: the user types `:smile`, picks from a list, and the shortcode is
+replaced with the emoji itself. If the mention events are new to you, start with
+[Mentions](/rich-text-formatting/mentions) and the
+[User and channel mentions](/guides/user-and-channel-mentions) guide; this page reuses the
+same flow.
+
+## A shortcode table
+
+Map each shortcode to the glyph it inserts:
+
+```tsx
+const EMOJIS = [
+  { shortcode: 'smile', char: '😄' },
+  { shortcode: 'heart', char: '❤️' },
+  { shortcode: 'fire', char: '🔥' },
+  { shortcode: 'rocket', char: '🚀' },
+];
+```
+
+## Wiring it up
+
+Register `:` as the only indicator and filter the table with the text typed
+after it. Because people habitually close the shortcode (`:smile:`), strip a
+trailing colon before matching:
+
+```tsx
+<EnrichedTextInput
+  mentionIndicators={[':']}
+  onStartMention={() => setOpen(true)}
+  onChangeMention={({ text }) => setQuery(text)}
+  onEndMention={() => setOpen(false)}
+  // ...
+/>;
+
+const q = query.replace(/:$/, '').toLowerCase();
+const suggestions = EMOJIS.filter(e => e.shortcode.startsWith(q));
+```
+
+When the user picks, `setMention` inserts the glyph as the mention's display
+text. The `data-shortcode` makes a handy attribute if you ever need to reconstruct it:
+
+```tsx
+const pick = (emoji) => {
+  ref.current?.setMention(':', emoji.char, {
+    'data-shortcode': emoji.shortcode,
+  });
+};
+```
+
+Since the emoji glyph is the whole mention, drop the usual highlight so it
+reads as plain text:
+
+```tsx
+const htmlStyle = {
+  mention: {
+    ':': {
+      color: '#232736',
+      backgroundColor: 'transparent',
+      textDecorationLine: 'none',
+    },
+  },
+};
+```
+
+## Try it out
+
+Type `:` followed by a name - `:fire`, `:heart` - then tap a suggestion. The shortcode is replaced with a single emoji that you can place anywhere in the text.

+# User and channel mentions
+
+This guide wires the mention events into a complete picker - the flow behind a
+chat composer where typing `@` suggests people and `#` suggests channels. If you
+haven't met the mention API yet, read
+[Mentions](/rich-text-formatting/mentions) first; here we move quickly and
+assume the events and `setMention` are familiar.
+
+## The data behind a mention
+
+Mentions are particularly useful if they point at something. Keep two lists around - one
+for users, one for channels - each item carrying an `id` you can attach
+to the finished mention:
+
+```tsx
+const USERS = [
+  { id: 'u1', name: 'John Doe' },
+  { id: 'u2', name: 'Jane Smith' },
+  { id: 'u3', name: 'Alice Johnson' },
+  { id: 'u4', name: 'Bob Brown' },
+];
+
+const CHANNELS = [
+  { id: 'c1', name: 'general' },
+  { id: 'c2', name: 'engineering' },
+  { id: 'c3', name: 'random' },
+  { id: 'c4', name: 'announcements' },
+];
+```
+
+## Wiring the picker
+
+Now let's register both indicators and the events callbacks:
+
+```tsx
+<EnrichedTextInput
+  mentionIndicators={['@', '#']}
+  onStartMention={openPicker} // fired when '@' or '#' is typed
+  onChangeMention={updateQuery} // fired on every keystroke after an indicator
+  onEndMention={closePicker} // fired when the mention is left
+  // ...
+/>
+```
+
+`onStartMention` hands you the indicator, so you know whether to show people or
+channels. `onChangeMention` hands you the `text` typed so far - filter your list
+with it. `onEndMention` fires when the cursor leaves the mention, so you dismiss
+the list.
+
+When the user taps a suggestion, finish the mention with `setMention`. Pass the
+same indicator that started it, the display text, and
+the item's data as attributes:
+
+```tsx
+const pick = (item) => {
+  ref.current?.setMention(indicator, `${indicator}${item.name}`, {
+    id: item.id,
+  });
+};
+```
+
+Now let's give each indicator its own look through
+`htmlStyle.mention`:
+
+```tsx
+const htmlStyle = {
+  mention: {
+    '@': { color: '#2b7a4b', backgroundColor: '#d8f3e3' },
+    '#': { color: '#2b5f9e', backgroundColor: '#d8e6f9' },
+  },
+};
+```
+
+## Try it out
+
+Type `@` to filter people or `#` to filter channels, keep typing to narrow the
+list, then tap a suggestion.

+
+A mention is only active while the editor is focused - if it blurs,
+`onEndMention` fires and `setMention` becomes a no-op. On native, tapping a
+suggestion never steals focus, so it just works. On web it does, so the rows
+call `preventDefault` on `mousedown` to keep the editor focused. The example
+wraps that in a small `keepEditorFocused` helper (see the Code tab).
+
+:::
+
+:::note
+
+The attributes you pass to `setMention` (here `{ id }`) ride along in the HTML
+and survive a round-trip through `getHTML` / `setValue`. Prefix custom keys with
+`data-` if they need to outlive a sanitizer - see the note in
+[Mentions](/rich-text-formatting/mentions).
