I simplied conext menu would be great. The menu has gotten crazy and is full of junk items that noboday whom I know uses. On the other hand one of the most needed items "Mark as read" is missing. The context menu frustrated me so much that I switched back to MS Outlook which is sluggy, but has far better, user orientied menu structures.
Vivaldi has had this option FOR YEARS. And it is a great customization options. Firefox should 100% include this option as a feature, even if it's hidden behind a about:config setting at least give us the option please. Thanks
Thanks a lot ! I will dig into that but it seems to me that if Thunderbird team want their product to be more accepted by lambda user they have to change this issue or to do like Google Chrome and make a scrolling window instead of a fix one for the contextual menu.
Please don't add an item to the context menu to edit it, do that in settings ! (In fact no matter, since we'll be able to remove it! 😉 )
To get it faster, I suggest to not take care about different possible contexts for the 1st version. We'll be able to post new ideas to handle them later.
- the complete list of all possible context menu items
- just one checkbox for each
- if it is checked, the context menu item appears in all contexts where it make sense
- if it is unchecked, the context menu item never appears
Is it fine for you ?
Of course, it's also needed for extensions, but I think it's better to be handled at extension level, not at the same place.
Ability to choose what we want and dont want on our right-click context menu
I feel like we have too many duplicates of items in our right-click context menus (mostly the menu when right-clicking on a link).
For me, I don't need 4 different ways to open a link, I definitely don't need to save my links to "Pocket", and I only need 1 way to copy a link, not 2.
If that aligns with what you're asking, we can merge the two threads (and votes) together so the conversation stays focused in one space. Just let me know.
yeah sorry i did indeed look before i posted.. just didn't see it.. but yea sounds exactly like what I'm talking about.. they could probably re-implement/use the same code as they used for the Bookmarks manager to achieve what we're talking about
Yeah, I rarely need to "Inspect Accessibility Properties," or "Email image," or "Set as desktop background." Would really like to get those out of the way, because when you use a lot of extensions, the menu gets inconveniently tall. More featureful context menu editing would be fantastic, but even merely being able to remove unneeded items would really help.
