Dropdown menu

Selection Format Menu

A formatting menu for selected text with bold, italic, underline and link: applied marks collect in a list under the paragraph, and the menu never leaves the catalogue card.

React + Tailwind, shadcn-compatible: press “Copy for AI” and your Cursor or Claude Code agent installs it with the shadcn CLI.

What you can change

  • the paragraph content through text
  • the empty-selection caption through emptyHint
  • the format list through actions, and the sectionLabel, menuLabel, hint, actionLabel, quoteText and markText captions — Russian by default

A link for your AI agent: preview, code and instructions.

FAQ

How do I add Selection Format Menu with Cursor or Claude Code?
Press “Copy for AI” on this page and paste it into your agent's chat. The instruction contains the shadcn CLI install command, the dependencies and what to keep, so the agent installs this exact component instead of recreating a lookalike.
What does Selection Format Menu depend on?
No npm packages beyond React and Tailwind CSS.
What can I change in Selection Format Menu?
Adapt: the paragraph content through text; the empty-selection caption through emptyHint; the format list through actions, and the sectionLabel, menuLabel, hint, actionLabel, quoteText and markText captions — Russian by default. Keep as installed: the local --vibeui-contextmenu-010-* palette — do not swap it for your theme tokens; reading the selection inside the handler: it does not exist during render and is gone once the menu closes; clamping the menu coordinates inside the demo area — this is what keeps the menu off the catalogue card.
Is Selection Format Menu free?
Yes. The preview is open without an account; with a free account you can copy up to 20 components a month.

Technical notes

The component is self-contained: one file, no dependencies, its own palette in the local --vibeui-contextmenu-010-* variables. Client component: "use client" for the sake of window.getSelection() and its own open state. The selection is read in the call handler rather than during render: before the event the browser does not know what the user picked, and once the menu closes it has already been cleared. The menu is not an HTML popover but a layer inside the demo area, which has position:relative and overflow:hidden; the click coordinates are converted into that area's frame of reference and clamped by the known menu size. The applied formats do not change the paragraph's layout but are added as marks in a list below it — this shows the result of the action without actually formatting the text. The theme comes from the surrounding color-scheme through light-dark(), and the card has no background of its own by default.
