Contextual menu for editing the structure of a table in the Content Editor
Problem to solve
There are some actions that need to be taken when formatting content that are best handled in context on the page. The formatting toolbar can offer the same functionality, but it can be tedious to move the cursor or scroll the page to get to the toolbar. Additionally, limiting the controls to a toolbar or global menu loses the context and requires much more descriptive text.
Proposal
When editing the structure of a table in the Content Editor, we should display a custom contextual menu that brings relevant formatting options closer to the cursor and the content itself. This should include:
- Add/remove rows
- Add/remove columns
- Shift rows/columns up or down
