Every TV menu is a centred modal, never a popover anchored to its trigger. --overlay-full scrim, panel on --app-bg with a 1px --line border, 32px padding, 25% width (max 50%). Title 36px --text-secondary.

Rows are transparent until focused, then --component-bg-active. Destructive rows read --red-text-secondary at rest and fill --red-solid on focus, but the label stays --text: focus resets text colour regardless. Default focus is the current value, else the first row. Source: select-modal.tsx · modal.tsx.

Six keys × two directions = twelve options, filtered against the current value. An option survives if it shares the current key or the current direction. The current value is kept and checked; the opposite direction of the current key carries a chevron. Every other key appears once. NAME_ASC yields seven rows.

Known app quirk: rows 1 and 2 are both labelled “Name”: translate("files_sort_name_label") is reused for both directions, so the only difference is the chevron. Reproduced here faithfully rather than smoothed over; worth raising with the app team.

Long-OK or right arrow opens the same SelectModal, titled with the raw filename. Items are filtered by capability, so the set is never fixed: Play in VLC needs a stream URL and the VLC scheme; Mark as watched needs a non-shared video with start-from on; Trash or Delete for anything unshared.

Nothing qualifies, no menu opens. Source: use-long-press-file-actions.tsx.
