Customize the Right Click Menu

Currently the Right Click Menu is not customizable, whereas Toolbars and other Menus are.

This would be a great feature to add in new versions, including sub-menus of course.

In lieu of that, these are some entries I would like to see in the Right Click Menu:

Select All
Styles...
Bookmarks...

Regarding the Select All... I am aware that a tripleiclick on the left margin will do exactly that. My main reason for wanting this option is two-fold:
1. It makes it easier to move back and forth between applications - having Select in the right-click menu seems to be a standard — possibly with very good reason
2. For RSI users like myself, it would be a great ease and help reduce the risk of exacerbating injury.

Having the Styles and Bookmarks added to this menu would allow the user to have both Styles and Bookmarks open at the same time - one being in the Control Panel and the other floating in the main window.
Once again, it would help to prevent exacerbating injury for RSI users who have to be repetitively clicking Styles and Bookmarks to go through a document.
Additionally, if this could be implemented, having the boxes be persistent until the user decides to close them would be a great plus.

Thanks.

The right-click menu is a context menu. It offers the commands applicable to the current document selection. This menu cannot be customized.

The preferable way to deal with bookmarks and styles is the Control Board of Atlantis. It has the Bookmarks and Styles panels.

OK. I understand about the customization.

But wouldn't it be possible to include the Select All as in option in menus that have Cut and Paste also as an option?

Seems that Select, Cut and Paste are options that should be grouped together.

Thanks.

Sorry, but the "Select all" command is normally offered through the right-click menu if the triple-click method is not supported.
