Acceptance criteria
The webMethod's API studio team is interested in having a context/overflow menu in a tree view item, to allow the addition of new folders, deletions, renaming, etc.
To add an overflow menu or right click context menu as a child of the tree view node, we have been exploring using right arrow to provide access to an overflow menu inside a node.
For end nodes, this would seem to be conflict-free, since right arrowing on an end node has no current action.
For a parent node, right arrow has an action. However, right arrow on an open parent node has an action which I would call a redundant action. All it does is move to the first child node of the parent, which can also be accomplished with a down arrow.
