This package adds a few methods to atom.contextMenu and allows you to specify commands to remove from the context menu in a similar way to adding commands

Usage

There are two ways you can remove context menu items with this package:

1. Use atom.contextMenu.remove() in your init script

 atom.contextMenu.remove {
   "atom-text-editor": [
     "Undo",
     "Redo",
     {
       label: "Tabs to spaces",
       submenu: [
         "Tabify",
         "Untabify",
         "Untabify All"
       ]
     }
   ]
 }

2. Add the object to your config file under the "remove" setting

 "*":
   "context-menu-remove":
     remove:
       "atom-text-editor": [
         "Undo",
         "Redo",
         {
           label: "Tabs to spaces",
           submenu: [
             "Tabify",
             "Untabify",
             "Untabify All"
           ]
         }
       ]

Format

The format is similar to atom.contextMenu.add with a few exceptions.

The only properties that are used are label and submenu.

If the item does not have a submenu then you can use the label property or just use a string.

{ label: "Undo" } === "Undo"

If the you want to remove an item that has a submenu you must list all submenu items.

{
  label: "Tabs to spaces",
  submenu: [
    #"Tabify", #leave Tabify in menu
    "Untabify",
    "Untabify All"
  ]
}

Methods

These are the extra methods that are added to atom.contextMenu

.remove(itemsBySelector)

This will remove items from the context menu using the format described above.

.SelectorsForLabel(label)

This will list the selectors that have a label as a top level or submenu item. This is good for debugging.

.labelsFromElement(element)

This will list the items for a given element. This helps when removing multiple items from an element's context menu.
