Move editor popup menu current word items to submenu.
This was a nice idea but after using it for two days it comes very unhandy, IMO. I use especially Goto Definition and Find usage very often as it's just convenient but with the new submenu they got hard to reach.
Can anyone confirm this?
Personally I just use keybindings. I thought it was good to group all the current word items together to make it clearer what they do, and to make the menu tidier. Also a small thing - it makes it much easier to avoid mnemonic conflicts.
Another thing I had in mind when doing this, is that often users don't realise there are keybindings for things that have no menu item. So having sub-menus for the popup menu means we can add many more menu items, and users can easily discover that there are more commands Geany supports.
e.g. There's a feature request for a 'Go to matching bracket' menu. This could be: Go to ->Line ->Matching Bracket ->Tag Definition? ->Tag Declaration?
OTOH, I agree it's good to shorten this menu a little bit or at least to not bloat it more. Maybe we could remove or move the "Insert [Date|Comments|Includes]" menu items into the Format submenu.
Well, insertion is not really formatting IMO.
