Desktop: right-clicking the transcript pane offers only a dead Copy/Select All menu — show the session context menu (Archive, Delete) instead
Summary
In the desktop app, right-clicking the empty space of the transcript pane (the conversation area) opens a context menu whose only usable entry is Select All — Copy is greyed out because nothing is selected, so the menu is effectively a single dead item. I would much rather get the session context menu there: the one shown when right-clicking a session title in the left sidebar, with Archive, Delete, and the rest.
Steps to reproduce
- Open any session in the desktop app.
- Right-click a blank area of the transcript pane (not on text, not on the sidebar).
- Observe the context menu: Copy (disabled) and Select All.
Actual behavior
A two-item menu where one item is disabled. Right-clicking the transcript pane offers no action related to the session I am currently looking at.
Expected behavior
Right-clicking the transcript pane's empty space should show the same context menu as right-clicking that session's title in the sidebar — Archive, Delete, and the other session-level actions — acting on the currently open session.
Text-selection entries can stay, but they should not be the whole menu:
- When text is selected, keep Copy (and Select All) at the top, then the session actions below a separator.
- When nothing is selected, the session actions are the only things worth showing.
Why it matters
The session I want to archive is almost always the one I am reading. Today that requires leaving the transcript, finding the same session again in the sidebar, and right-clicking it there — while the much larger, closer target under my cursor offers only a disabled Copy.
