Anatomy
The bubble opens a capsule of reactions with a caret above it and an ink pill of actions below it (Reply, Copy text, Pin, More) · a reaction flies to the bubble and lands as a badge that stacks the emoji and rolls its count, yours is tinted and a second tap takes it back · More holds Mark unread, Copy link and Report, which asks once · arrows walk a capsule, Down and Up move between the capsule and the pill, R, C and P are shortcuts, Escape closes both and gives focus back

640 px
Drawn at this width and never stretched past it. Below it, controls, text and spacing step down from the box the block sits in, not the window.
When to use it
Where Context Menus earns its place
Reach for Context Menus
- A table or directory row needs per-record actions that would crowd the row if drawn inline
- A canvas or flow builder where a click should offer what can be added at that point
- A chat message needs reactions and replies without a permanent toolbar on every bubble
- A destructive action needs to sit apart from the ordinary ones, below a separator
Reach for something else
- The action is the main thing to do on the screen: put a button on the page, where a gesture nobody was told about cannot hide it
- You are choosing a value rather than firing an action: a dropdown reports the choice back to the control that opened it
- The panel would need its own search across hundreds of entries. That is a command menu, which is built to be typed at

What the block ships with. Hold on to these as you make it yours.
- Named controlsEvery icon-only button keeps a text label, so a screen reader can say what it does.
- Keyboard firstEvery control is reachable with Tab, and its focus ring stays visible.
- More than colourA state never rides on colour alone; a mark or a word goes with it.
- Contrast holdsRetheme freely, but keep text at or above the contrast it ships with.
- Calm motionFor visitors who ask for reduced motion, things simply appear.
- Room to hitTargets stay at least 24px, with space between neighbours.

Yes. It is drawn at 640px and never stretched past that. Below it, its controls, text and spacing step down with the container the block sits in rather than the browser window, so it holds up in a sidebar, a tablet layout and a 390px phone without clipping or sideways scrolling.

It ships with text labels on every icon-only button, full keyboard reach with a visible focus ring, states that never rely on colour alone, text contrast that holds when you retheme it, no animation for visitors who ask for reduced motion, and click targets of at least 24px.

When should I not use a Context Menus block?
The action is the main thing to do on the screen: put a button on the page, where a gesture nobody was told about cannot hide it.
