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 :-) > >> 3. pack the rest in submenus. > >> format > format submenu as now > > 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.

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.
