  • Improved API documentation with more code examples
  • Enhanced readability of implementation docs
  • Fixed typos and formatting issues in existing documentation

0.0.6

• Fixed context menu flickering issue:
  • Resolved issue where menus would rapidly show, hide, then show again on right-click
  • Implemented timestamp-based event throttling to prevent duplicate events
  • Removed duplicate event handling by consolidating into a single event handler
  • Added delayed show/hide sequence to improve menu transition experience
  • Extended event handling timeout for better stability
  • Fixed minor documentation inconsistencies

0.0.5
