Abstract
Enhanced contextual menu technology is disclosed herein. In an implementation, when a user selects content in a user interface to an application, a context associated with the content is identified. A child menu in a contextual menu hierarchy is then selected based on the context and is rendered in the user interface. In some implementations, the child menu includes a navigational element that links back to a parent of the child menu in the contextual menu hierarchy.
