# Context menu: Disabled

> A disabled `<ContextMenu />` gives the area back to the browser’s own menu. Disabled items stay visible but are skipped by the keyboard.

Example: https://hextaui.com/docs/context-menu/examples/disabled
Component docs: https://hextaui.com/docs/context-menu.md

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/context-menu-disabled.json
```

This adds `components/examples/context-menu/disabled.tsx` with the Context menu component and the HextaUI theme tokens.
