Ok, got it. Yeah, it's currently not very high on the todo list. But I understand cview has this implemented?

Looks like cview does implement context menus, but there are few issues with cview, here are some of them:

Though cview's API is fairly identical to tview's, it consists of breaking changes. Furthermore, some of the functions like TreeNode.GetLevel() are missing.
The repository is self-hosted which makes it difficult for me to open issues and pull requests (you cannot login with GitHub).

To be honest, I don't follow cview's progress so I can't tell you anything about its current state. (I don't even know if it's still actively maintained.)

Anyway, I was thinking you might be able to implement context menus yourself by intercepting mouse events with SetMouseCapture(). Now you need to place a context menu widget (e.g. a List) where the user clicked. You can take a clue from this Wiki page.

I would think it's possible even without having this specific functionality part of the library.
