The idea is to replace the default (firefox/chomium) context widnows when right clicking, because this default context window is basically useless in a webapp.
IMO it would be a great feature to have such a little window with quick commands (like delete a task, give it to a user etc). Basically it would be a way to have quickly access to useful commands without
- Clicking on the task
- Waiting for a whole task window to load with information that might be unneeded and that clutter the GUI
- Clicking on the command you want (on the right pane) by searching all the commands (that are many)
- A component going to the top of the window to set a value (or a modal window for delete)
- Moving the mouse from the right to the top part to finally do something
Replacing that workflow with :
- right cligk on the task
- Choose the quick command
- Act : specify a value or confirm - done
Obviously it would be useless if we just put back all the command option from the task view, it should only be a subset of the most used ones. So only for the top 3-5 most frequently used action for regular users.
Its not something trivial though. But I guess it would be possible to reuse some of the components that are added up in the task view, and “show” them after clicking on the action.
