WebView context menu isn't functional.

For me the context menu is functional. I like it. In my report #1 (comment), I just asked if there was a shortcut for reloading the page in the Preview.

I'm not sure what you mean. The Preview updates as you type.

Yes, but let it be supposed that there is a link that will fire only once an animation, if the user goes with the mouse over the link. So, if the user tested the link, but want to see again the animation, a reload is necessary.

The context menu in the preview pane is broken though.

For me the context menu works perfect. I don't see any broken context menu. And I don't see any reason to change the context menu. That is why I don't understand the title of this issue "WebView context menu isn't functional".

Reloading the document (menubar File/Reload) should cause the preview to reload. You can assign a shortcut in Geany preferences.

The problem is when editing other formats. As long as you're previewing only html files, it will work okay. It will probably take me a while to figure out how to fix.

Because the context-menu does not work properly, what about the idea to disable the context-menu with the goal to not confuse users with a context-menu that does not work properly?

Cannot disable context menu because it's currently the only way to copy text out of the preview plugin. This is useful to obtain text without markup.

So, after having fixed #55, it would be good to disable the context-menu.
