Hey everyone, I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to change the right-click menu in Google Docs and Sheets. I know we can add stuff to the top menu bar, but what about the menu that pops up when you right-click on a cell or some text? Is it possible to put our own functions in there? I’ve looked around but can’t find anything about this. Has anyone done it before or know if it’s even allowed? It would be super helpful for some projects I’m working on. Thanks for any info!
I’ve actually looked into this before for a work project. Unfortunately, Google doesn’t currently allow custom options in the context menu for Docs or Sheets. It’s a bit frustrating, as it would be incredibly useful. The closest workaround I found was creating custom keyboard shortcuts for scripts, but that’s not quite the same as right-click functionality. You might want to consider using add-ons or extensions that add buttons to the toolbar instead. While not ideal, it can provide quicker access to custom functions. If this feature is crucial for your workflow, you may need to explore alternative software that offers more customization options.
sry to hear that, miar 
i was hoping there’d be a way. guess google’s pretty strict with their menus huh? thx for the workaround ideas tho! might try the keyboard shortcuts thing. kinda bummed we can’t customise it more. maybe they’ll add it someday if enough ppl ask?
As someone who’s dabbled in Google Apps Script, I can confirm that customizing the context menu isn’t possible in Docs or Sheets. It’s a limitation that’s frustrated me too. However, I’ve found some workarounds that might help. One trick I use is creating a custom sidebar with buttons for frequently used functions. It’s not as convenient as right-click, but it’s always visible and accessible. Another approach is utilizing the ‘onOpen’ trigger to add custom menu items to the top menu bar. While it’s not ideal, it does allow for some level of customization. Lastly, I’ve had success with Chrome extensions that add functionality to Google Docs and Sheets. They can sometimes offer context menu-like features, though it’s not native to Google’s ecosystem. Hope these alternatives give you some ideas to explore!
