+## Description
+
+I want to add a right-click context menu to a Grid, which allows copying text from the Grid to the clipboard. The copied text can then be pasted into an Editor or anywhere else.
+
+## Solution
+
+To achieve this, implement a context menu for the Grid and include a "Copy to Clipboard" option. Follow these steps:
+
+1. Define the context menu and its items.
+2. Handle the right-click event to show the context menu.
+3. Implement the logic to copy the selected row's text to the clipboard by using the [navigator clipboard API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/clipboard).
