Hmm, for a given node type, you want all the actions that make sense for that node type in a user ordered list, and then some action (double click?) causes the one highest on the list to occur? I don't think we'll get there any time soon, most commands / plug-ins which provide commands rely on the user to say "this command is relevant to this node", by explicitly running the command on the node. So there's no general method for having plugins identify whether the commands they provide are relevant. act-on-node sort of addresses this, but it's not widely used, and many plugins provide multiple actions, so the user would still have to pick. - it would be easy enough to provide a setting which adds command bindings as context menu entries, if that helps - having Leo "do something sensible" with *url* nodes is a different issue, basically Leo will / should just tell the OS to "do something sensible" with the URL.
