Is there a reason why the Linux ports don't use a native InspectorFrontEndHost like Mac and Windows? That would let you use a real context menu and not need to create it in HTML. It would be better to have a common path and no split the ports.

Do you mean there is a way to implement cross platform context menus? If so, Is it a feature of the old inspector that would be keep in the new inspector implementation? besides that, I don't know how it will impact in the EFL port, because it uses "EWK" to implement the UI. I believe someone from EFL port could explain better, @gyuyoung?

[Timothy Hatcher]

The Mac and Windows ports use the native InspectorFrontEndHost, not InspectorFrontEndHostStubs.js.

So we use WebCore's ContextMenu code. See:

WebCore::InspectorFrontendHost::showContextMenu

Hmm, EFL community has objected to use Elementary inside WebKit. Because, they have a elm_web as a sub module of elementary. So, if we use Elementary inside WebKit, circular dependency occurs. Ryuan, how do you think about this ?

Yes, this is not acceptable.

Hello, this is Daniel Juyung Seo from EFL team.
Sorry but as Elementary depends on WebKit, WebKit can not depend on Elementary.
That will lead to a circular dependency. "elm_web" widget of Elementary uses ewk_view internally.

I know it will be good if elm_web is separated from Elementary and WebKit uses Elementary. But this is not what it is at the moment.

That can happen in EFL 2.0 but there is no plan for EFL 2.0 yet.

Thanks for understanding.

Ok, I got it, so what you suggest to implement it?
Anyway thanks for you reply.

We can use element in MiniBrowser. So, we have delegate the elementary use to application side(e.g. MiniBrowser). Isn't there method to delegate the elementary use to MiniBrowser ? For instance, you may add new APIs for it.

We can use element in MiniBrowser.

*element* -> *elementary*

If EFL has remote inspection via a WebSocket connection then there will need to be an HTML context menu. But for now it sounds like this is not regarding remote inspection and it sounds like EFL is working toward a good solution.
