Show CKEditor5 Balloon toolbar programatically on right click?

I use CkEditor BalloonEditor:
BalloonEditor.create(document.querySelector('#editor'), { ...options... });
By design the balloon toolbar of CkEditor 5 is only shown when I mark some text in the editor. That's totally okay for standard text operations as making a text bold, italic or changing its colors.
But if I want to insert something (image, table, media) I first must type something, mark it, so that the toolbar is shown before I can insert new content. That is not practical. So actually the balloon editor is great for changing existing content, not to insert new content.
My idea now is, that I want to open the toolbar by clicking with the right mouse button, showing the toolbar instead of the browser's context menu. Nice would be if the toolbar then only contains actions to insert new content (as inserting image, table, media) and the actions for formatting content (as bold, italic, font color) disappears or at least are disabled.
So basically I would implement something like:
<div id="editor" oncontextmenu="showContextMenu(event)">
...
function showContextMenu(event) {
event.preventDefault();
// --> Open here the balloon toolbar at the current caret position. How?
}
I tried finding a solution with a hack:
When clicking with the right mouse button, I inserted a space character at the clicked position and marked/selected it automatically so that the CkEditor balloon editor opened the toolbar. That worked so far, but then I had this undesired space character in the document and I struggled to remove it gracefully afterwards. Furthermore the context menu also contained the text formatting actions (as bold, italic and so on, since there was text - the inserted space selected).
Another idea would be to develop an own toolbar completely detached from CkEditor and then using Commands to insert the appropriate commands as #denov has suggested in his solution. But I think this should actually be possible to achieve with the CkEditor API by using the class ContextualBalloon. But how?
Does anyone have any idea how to achieve this or can guide me with some directions?
Thx!
For images you can just drag the image into the editor.
Commands are the way to interact with the editor. The Images plugin uses the ImageInsertCommand
assuming you have the editor assigned to the global window object you could do
function showContextMenu(event) {
event.preventDefault();
window.editor.execute('imageInsert', { source: 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8d/Frog_on_palm_frond.jpg'} )
}
Unfortunately, it's not possible to show the balloon toolbar if the selection is collapsed. This behaviour is defined here.

Multiple controls on Xamarin button?

I would like complex button, which has several text elements and which should change their state and color depending on button state.
Unfortunately, I see that Xamarin button has only predefined image and text parameters.
How to have multiple controls inside a button in Xamarin?
Visual state manager(Only XF 3.0+) have three states: normal, disabled, focused which is named "CommonStates", or you can create custom states.Maybe it could help:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/user-interface/visual-state-manager
I think you must read more in content view, where you can add labels into stacklayout or grid with your own api bindable property, then use it wherever you want in your code:

NativeScript animated Modal Page

I need Modal Page appears with "slide from bottom and cover (NOT push) current page" transition.
I set parameter animated of showModal method, but nothing changed.
How implement such transition for Modal Page? Android platform.
it's bug github.com/NativeScript/NativeScript/issues/5989
I have kinda hacky stuff, wrapping my elements with AbsoluteLayout and give it a high top value like '800',
and in navigatedTo function make transition animation with the negative value of the top attribute. In your case you would use left attribute and make transition over x.
Another solution that looks better in the UI, adding a custom component that would act as your modal, wrap your page elements with AbsoluteLayout, add your custom component when you need to show your modal, and apply the previous animation hack to it.
Tip: You can set the actionBarHiddin = true if you want to your custom component to overlay the full screen.
Tip: async/await and then would be very useful for the smoothing matters.

Kendo UI Toolbar and Grid - strange save behavior when triggered from Toolbar control

I have some pages where I have a kendo ui grid (wired up to full CRUD services), but use a separate Kendo UI Toolbar control (as opposed to the toolbar configuration in the grid itself). I have a number of different buttons/menus on the toolbar, but am seeing a strange behavior when calling saveChanges() on the grid. If a cell is being edited when the save button is clicked, the grid is saved, but the edited value is lost (it reverts back to where it was). The following details what I see in different situations:
When using a save button configured in the grid (command: "save"), any changes in a cell being edited are committed with the save.
When using a plain html button that calls the saveChanges() method of the grid, any changes in a cell being edited are committed with the save.
When using a save button configured in a toolbar control, the changes in a cell being edited are LOST when saveChanges() is called.
The following jsbin shows the behavior of all three:
http://jsbin.com/jazobexatu/2/edit?html,js,output
I have tried calling the save from the toolbar button a number of different ways (even trying to trigger the click event of the external button), but nothing seems to correct the behavior. I also tried calling closeCell() on the grid (to try to force the value back into the data, but that doesn't work either). I haven't been able to debug the javascript enough to figure out what is different. I'm hoping someone with a deeper understanding of these controls can help me out.
For some reason, the mouse down event on the toolbar button doesn't cause a blur on the editor.
You can try it yourself by clicking in the cell to edit it, then click and hold the mouse button down on the "normal" button. The editor closes on mouse down, causing a blur of the editor, and persists the change.
If you do the same thing, click and hold mouse down, on the toolbar button, the editor stays open.
I've been poking through the source, but haven't figured out exactly why this happens. My best guess would be that the mousedown handler on the toolbar prevents the event from bubbling or running its default action and the editor doesn't blur.
Additional detail: On mousedown on the grid header button and the normal button, the focused element changes (which is what causes the editor blur). But on mousedown of the toolbar button, the editor input element still has the focus.
Shifting the focus on mousedown of the toolbar might be a workaround.
Sort of a weird hack, but this works in Chrome (any should in any browser that supports activeElement
click: function (e) {
$(document.activeElement).blur();
$("#grid").data("kendoGrid").saveChanges();
}

CKEditor focus anywhere (not only within textfield with padding 10-20px)

I'm using CKEditor 4 and focus event is not firing when clicking on area just near borders. Only when 10-20px inside of text editor.
I want to insert placeholders by clicking on them, so I'm tracking focus on CKEditor and other input. Because of this 'focus problem' placeholders are being inserted in the other input, however caret is blinking inside CKEditor.
How can I fix this issue?
