As an FYI (because this may make a difference), I use CK PageBuilder Pro to construct all my pages.

I spend 2 weeks out of every 4 working on a laptop (I really miss my big screens during that time!!). Editing can be quite a chore, especially on longer pages, because of the small screen setup. In EasyBlog (the blog component I use from StackIdeas), they have an editing popup that appears when you highlight any text. Just the basic items like bold, italics, underline, insert link, etc. It would be great if JCE could implement something like this. I was working yesterday on a number of full page chenges for a client. She had decided to bold something in every paragraph. On the laptop, that meant continual scrolling up and down. So, highlight and scroll up. Click "B", scroll down. Rinse and repeat. A contextual popup could have saved 30 minutes or more for me.

Agreed that a simple contextual menu would be useful, but don't forget about keyboard shortcuts - https://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/support/documentation/editor/keyboard-shortcuts

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.

TBH, I've never used keyboard shortcuts. I'll have to learn the important ones. Thanks.
