HOW TO USE IT
For the purpose of this documentation the term “right-click” will be used as the operation opening a context menu.
You can open the 4AI Geek Context Menu as any context menu in the Unity Inspector by right-clicking on an array or list element name (not a value). In some versions of Unity it is also possible to right-click on the array/list name itself – in this case it assumes that the clicked element index is zero. 4AI Geek Context Menu is appended to the standard Unity context menu items.
