Trapdoor Menu
Press Menu and the page swings down on its hinge like a trapdoor, showing the menu underneath: links rise as the edge passes them, an image follows your pointer. Closing replays it backwards. No GSAP.
View codeA right-click menu that grows from the exact point you clicked, stays on screen and works from the keyboard with Shift + F10.

A right-click menu for an area of the page: it opens from the exact point you clicked,
stays inside the screen, and works from the keyboard too (Shift + F10 or the menu key).
A highlight slides from item to item under the pointer or the arrow keys.
