As noted in another response, IAW Gnome HIG right click popups S/B context related things.
What does S/B mean?
Sorry "should be" I was in a hurry so more acronyms than usual.
FWIW I'd:
- remove undo/redo/select all as they are not context related
Then are common editor popup menu commands though - gedit and Scite have them. nedit has undo/redo and mousepad has select all.
I'm not particularly opposed to removing them, just mentioning that some users will expect to see them there.
Ok, well lets see what others think.
- let the user pick say four most used top level commands since we
are *never* going to agree on them. Use a simplified version of the customise toolbar dialog.
Personally I don't think it's worth doing this. Put the most useful things at toplevel, everything else in submenus.
Ah but whats the most useful?
I *never* use insert comments from the popup and rarely from the menu (changelog mostly) so for me having any insert comments in the popup is a waste of space.
I'm not suggesting its required, but if someone out there has the time to implement it this would remove all the disagreements :-)
- pack the rest in submenus.

What about Commands - at least half of these are context related.
insert > insert submenu including the insert comments
I think at least me and Enrico use insert comments a lot, we'd like it to be toplevel. The other insert items could maybe be in a submenu (also insert alt whitespace). This would be like having Go to Tag Definition in toplevel but Go to Tag Declaration in a submenu as it's less common.
And I of course use the tool differently so I don't want any inserts and use go to declaration much more than go to definition due to the language I use most :-).
For all user names : [insert name here] uses it differently again so almost no one is fully happy with a fixed menu.
search > find items and as you say search selected goto > open file, goto line etc
Personally I would combine search and goto, that way we can share a GtkMenu widget between the search menu and popup menu. This is a good strategy because we don't have to maintain two separate menus if most items are needed in each.
Good idea.
Cheers Lex
