-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The nonstandard ` contextmenu ` event is not widely supported.
Browsers that do support it may be configured to prevent scripts from
accessing that event.

Example:

<body oncontextmenu="return false">

Disables the context menu where supported. Note that this will not
prevent users from viewing your source code or copying images. To
discourage copying, provide a copyright notice.

It's not always the right button. In some cases, it isn't even a
separate button. Furthermore, the context action can be invoked by
some keyboards.
