It would be really nice, if I could open another perspective by clicking on a "Open In New Window" context menu item on the perspective icons At the moment I need to open the preferences dialogue and adjust the setting on how another perspective is opened. I hope, I categorized my feature request correctly (Platform, UI).
Which perspective icons are you referring to? 1. the ones on the Window->Open Perspective menu? 2. the ones in the "Open Perspective" dialogue? 3. the ones on the Perspective Switcher? (which already have a context menu this could be appended to) My recommendations: Forget 1. Having a context menu on a menu item doesn't make sense. for 2 - the preference could be displayed on the dialogue in some modifiable control - perhaps as two radio buttons. This would allow you to see what the preference is, and then modify it if you wish to. 3. is easy to achieve - I have code for this that adds a context menu item that will open the selected perspective in a new window. However it only lets you modify the behaviour for perspectives that you already have open. I will commit this change for review.
I just read the title of the feature request - 3. was what was requested there. However I suggest that 2. would be a better solution to the issue described in the feature description.
