Suggestion for right click menu future enhancement.

Is there a place to post suggestions, or is here a good spot?

90% of my clicks seems to me (right-click Edit) to modify tool paths. It really sux having edit WAY at the top of an insanely long right click menu.

Can we get the most used closer to the mouse pointer?

You raise a good point. We can look at this to see what we can improve on in this respect.

BTW, you can also trigger the edit action by double-clicking items. That might be even easier than any action in the context menu.

The Trick is to double click just the operation or setup(or nc program) ICON
I don't believe this is well documented but it should be

I know about the double click option, but what seems to happen more times than not, it is enables the Rename feature and I find I have to esc and then double click again.

That why I said you need to double click the ICON (highlighted in red)not the operation  name

Hope that helps, it was a game changer for me when I found out this trick
