        This suggestion is under planned, but today it is "Under review". Why is this?

        Though no votes left here....I completely agree, the option to enhance and customize the right-click menu would be a huge timer saver, not to mention wrist!

        Having a "right click", context sensitive menu system is a huge time saver. It is available in several 3D graphics applications such as SolidWorks, 3ds Max, Canvas, etc. Once you have it you won't ever want to be without it. It makes your life so much easier.

        If there was some definitive way to know what objects are selected (or what the context is) an AutoHotkey solution would be very simple. Hint Hint Alibre!

        CoCreate has this feature as shown here;

        When you have this customizable short cut menu available, you don't have to go to the fringe of the window to access icons. Depending on how case sensitivity is programed by Alibrer, the software does not require you to access built in menu at all. Because you can create your own menu at hand within the work space. You can drastically reduce your fatigue on your wrist since you don't have to move your mouse. Mouse travel distance can be enormously minimized.
        Also your frustration will be gone, since every piece of menu can be placed wherever you want.
