How to register a plugin to viewer selected text context menu?

Gerbrand · 05-04-2014, 02:09 PM

I want to write a plugin that uses selected text in the window of the epub viewer.

In the preferences is an option to configure the toolbar, I understand this is the place where ui-plugins are to be 'registered'.

In the set of popupmenu items are 3 contextmenus to select from: library, device, coverbrowser.

There is no entry for the contextmenu of epub-viewer's selected text. So how do I register this plugin?

You dont need to register the plugin simply implement the customize_context_menu() method in your plugin to do whatever you want with the menu.
