Created attachment 288013 [details] Editor context menu with categories Currently, when right-clicking in the editor pane the user is presented with an overwhelming list of items. Even for advanced users it takes much time to go through all the available items. By grouping the actions into meaningful categories, this time could be significantly reduced. Hovering over a category opens a submenu as with normal context menus. I propose following categories as starting point for a discussion (see also the attached screenshot): - Open... - Edit... - Navigate... - Plugins... - Run... - Misc... These categories are re-used from Eclipse's toolbar. I.e., users are already familiar with these categories. This form of grouping is also in line with the "Rule of 7" from psychology: "The Magic number 7 (plus or minus two) provides evidence for the capacity of short term memory. Most adults can store between 5 and 9 items in their short-term memory." (https://www.simplypsychology.org/short-term-memory.html)
