takeshimiya:
And my suggestion about the context-menu...? :(

thomas:
Generally an ok suggestion, but not as easy as it may look, since the menu is constructed in many steps involving several separate builtin modules and several plugins (which are called in their order of loading, i.e. dependent on their filename!). To make things yet more complicated, some components append their menu entries to the menu, while others insert their items after another known item ("find declaration").

So yes, it is possible to rearrange the menu, but it is not a trivial task that is done in 5 minutes - rather painful.

takeshimiya:
Yep I know all of that, that's why I said Altrough this is a subject to change always over the time... because other plugins and newer functionality will change it, with the time.

Not having the Cut/Copy/Paste triad in the context menu directly because the menu is cluttered, originates these types of posts, it happened to me that I was looking for them also.

I'll try to take a look...

yckx:
It's good to know the selection bug has been fixed.  And I appreciate the explanation of the context menu construction.  While I'd really like to see an improvement similar to Takeshi's suggestion, knowing why the menu is so oddly ordered (and why we shouldn't expect a reorganization any time soon) is helpful in itself.

takeshimiya:
I've modified (as a proof-of-concept) the context menu to remove some clutter, but I would prefer this
