The RadEditor can include ContextMenus tag, which allows you to change the default context menus and specify custom ones for the various HTML elements. You can also disable the context menu for certain elements (e.g. for tables).

< ContextMenus >
    < telerik:EditorContextMenu  TagName ="A"  Enabled ="false"></ contextMenu >
    < telerik:EditorContextMenu  TagName ="IMG">
       < telerik:EditorTool  name ="Cut"/>
      < telerik:EditorTool  name ="Copy"/>
      < telerik:EditorTool  name ="Paste"/>
   </ telerik:EditorContextMenu >
    < telerik:EditorContextMenu  TagName ="P">
       < telerik:EditorTool  name ="JustifyLeft"/>
      < telerik:EditorTool  name ="JustifyCenter"/>
      < telerik:EditorTool  name ="JustifyRight"/>
      < telerik:EditorTool  name ="JustifyFull"/>
   </ telerik:EditorContextMenu >
</ ContextMenus >

Here is the default context menu configuration of RadEditor:

< telerik:RadEditor  ID ="RadEditor1"  runat ="server">
   < ContextMenus >
     < telerik:EditorContextMenu  TagName ="IMG">
       < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="SetImageProperties"   />
      < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="ImageMapDialog"   />
    </ telerik:EditorContextMenu >
     < telerik:EditorContextMenu  TagName ="TABLE">
       < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="ToggleTableBorder"   />
      < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="SetTableProperties"   />
      < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="DeleteTable"   />
    </ telerik:EditorContextMenu >
     < telerik:EditorContextMenu  TagName ="TD">
       < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="InsertRowAbove"   />
      < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="InsertRowBelow"   />
      < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="DeleteRow"   />
      < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="InsertColumnLeft"   />
      < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="InsertColumnRight"   />
      < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="MergeColumns"   />
      < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="MergeRows"   />
      < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="SplitCell"   />
      < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="DeleteCell"   />
      < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="SetCellProperties"   />
    </ telerik:EditorContextMenu >
     < telerik:EditorContextMenu  TagName ="A">
       < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="SetLinkProperties"   />
      < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="Unlink"   />
    </ telerik:EditorContextMenu >
     < telerik:EditorContextMenu  TagName ="BODY">
       < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="Cut"   />
      < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="Copy"   />
      < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="Paste"   />
      < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="PasteFromWord"   />
      < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="PastePlainText"   />
      < telerik:EditorTool  Name ="PasteAsHtml"   />
    </ telerik:EditorContextMenu >
   </ ContextMenus >
</ telerik:RadEditor >

As of R2 2016 RadEditor uses the RadContextMenu as a default context menu. If you want to use the older context menu you can set the UseRadContextMenu property to false.
