# MAO 0.5.27

Released 2026-09-23.

## Menus behave the same everywhere

Every menu, popover and right-click menu on the canvas now follows the same rules:

- Only one is open at a time, and it always appears above the sidebar, the toolbars and the nodes.
- A click outside closes it and does nothing else, so you never select, drag or reopen something by accident. Clicking the menu's button again closes it.
- Escape closes it, even while a terminal has the keyboard.
- The canvas does not pan or zoom under an open menu, so the menu stays next to the node that opened it.
- When it closes, the keyboard goes back to where you were.

## A right-click menu for terminals

Right-clicking a terminal now opens a menu with **Copy**, **Paste**, **Select all** (scrollback included) and **Clear**, plus **Rename**, **Change preset**, **Connect** and **Delete**. Before, a right-click copied the selection or pasted straight away. **Clear** empties the terminal's screen and scrollback in MAO only; nothing is sent to the program running in it.

The canvas menu now opens only on empty canvas. It no longer opens when you right-click a note, file tree, editor, portal or the notice bar, or while a sheet or dialog is open.
