Description Silvia Pfeiffer 2010-04-14 16:38:37 PDT 
I have Safari Version 4.0.5 (6531.22.7) running here.

Request:
Safari has no special contextmenu on the <video> and <audio> elements - could that please be introduced?

Details:
All other Web Browsers that support the HTML5 media element have a specific contextmenu on <video> that exposes some of the available JavaScript functions to the user to activate through the contextmenu. For example, Firefox has the following contextmenu:
* toggle play/pause
* toggle mute/unmute
* toggle loop/no loop
* toggle show/hide controls
* toggle full screen
* view video (similar to view image)
* copy video location
* save video as...
* send video...

The play/pause is particularly useful when you use a video element without @controls.

Sorry this might be a dupe of bug 45021 for which I wrote a patch, wip :)

Well that patch is not for Safari but it could probably be used to fix this bug
