I find it strange that after more than 3 years, ArchiveWeb.page still does not have the ability to right-click in a downloaded webpage.
What change would you like to see?
Archived webpages should have the ability to invoke a context menu by right clicking within the page. This seems like it'd be a built-in Electron feature that was deliberately disabled for some reason. I admit right clicking in a downloaded page has little benefits, but that does not mean it has no benefits. Saving an image, for example, can currently only be done by either switching to the Resources tab of the webpage, sorting by image (which even then is less than accurate), and scrolling through every individual image until finding what you're looking for, then taking a screenshot, or by extracting all files from the WARC and finding it manually there.
I'm aware right clicking works and is received by any JavaScript on the page, but not a context menu, which strikes me as odd.

Unfortunately, it is not a built-in Electron feature, but there are libraries that help do this, eg: https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-context-menu
Something we can look into, but it won't be the same menu that it's regular Chromium it looks like.
Hmm... would it be easier than a library to implement a headless mode for playback? Simply exposing the local server and allowing the user to connect to it with any browser, and thus have a context menu?
It'd also solve a few other problems I personally have with replayweb.page: fullscreen being impossible, the ability to host a page on one device and access it on another, easier browsing of the file structure, etc.
Can open another issue for this if needed.
