198327 - Install a context menu in the autocomplete drop-down list

Status: NEW

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, enhancement)

Description

[rbs]

When typed URLs have typos, they hang around in the autocomplete drop-down list
for quite some time. It would be nice if the URLBar's context menu could also
show up in the autocomplete drop-down lis (but with just 'Copy' and 'Delete'
active). This way, the user could remove obsolete URLs.

This isn't a dupe.  Bug 171605 is for Firebird, and only for the auto-completed
fields, not the location bar.

-> re-opening, I mis-read.

In addition to the options from the Edit context menu as advocated, other
options could be classic Link options such as "Open in New Window" and "Open In
New Tab".

About the typos being saved, that is bug 9203. And about being able to delete
them, that is bug 87098. Duping.

Neither of those have to do with a context menu, though.  Re-opening.

Comment 7

Re-summarizing to avoid further confusion. This bug is about installing a
context menu inside the autocomplete drop-down list (similar to what happens on
the URL field). But with the following suggested options for the autocomplete
context menu:

  Copy               <-- for pasting elsewhere
  Delete             <-- to get rid of an URL with typos in the drop-down list
  ------------------
  Open in New Window
  Open In New Tab

Somebody suggested an option to clear out the list completely. Maybe "Delete All"?

  ------------------
  Open in New Window
  Open In New Tab
  ------------------
  Copy
  Delete
  Delete All

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

There is no context menu for location bar autocomplete items. Reopening.
