Context-sensitive menus

as in, right-click menus, but where right-click is not the invocation mechanism.

The Context-sensitive menus can be invoked by “Tap-and-Hold” and canceled by Taping outside the CSM. The usual case will be that the CSM can be invoked on any object within the web page currently viewed without activating the link or object. Context-sensitive menus can be invoked over content rendered by a plug-in only if the plug-in supports CSM. The CSM opened over a plug-in will contain the commands provided by the plug-in.
