[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Context menu update (#2550)

[Ru Uba]

Just two things in addition to @eht16 comments

> the Addons plugin already has a similar feature (https://plugins.geany.org/addons.html#copy-file-path). The functionality is a menu item in the Tools instead of the notebook tab menu but additionally provides a keyboard shortcut.

I didnt even know that this wouldve been a feature! Although, of course to simply copying the full path is nice but at least in my experience you it being only one method and being buried in the `Tools` menu is rather unexpected when youve used other IDEs that have it on the Notetab (Notepad++, Atom, MonoDevelop, VS Studio iirc) is probably the first reason I didnt realize it. Reason number 2 is that by default my distribution doesnt inlcude the add-ons on the normal install (in the past it used to be one separate bundled install but I think it's individualized now) and neither does compiling the main program from source have this feature in the normal program

>The functionality is a menu item in the Tools instead of the notebook tab menu but additionally provides a keyboard shortcut.

As far as keyboard shortcuts, @codebrainz did have us add Mnemonics so it's typically there. I had seen somewhere in the source-code yesterday that `Shift+F10` does open up the Notebook tab context menu this should allow the accelerator sequence to be Shift+F10+[whichever Mnemonics were added yesterday] (albeit I have only tested Shift+F10 to open the context menu as I dont use mnemonics often)

Everything else is up to yourselves to discuss as I cant speculate on if users have an average preferred notebook tab context menu length nor do I know much of anything regarding the plugin architecture or it's API to contribute. 

Cheers
