This seems like the kind of request where there is not one right answer. Configurable context menus and toolbars may be one way to make everyone happy. Do you want to turn this bug report into a request for a configurable context menu?

Most of the entries in the context menu were added in changeset
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/1f1e1e72e958
Of course, on can discuss if all of these are really required/useful but the context menu of, e.g. "geany" (which I am using) is comparable (or even more crowded).

"Help on ...", "Documentation on ..." and "Edit ..." were already existing before the changeset mentioned above. Personally I think, those three entries are directly related to the right mouse click and should not be removed.

Maybe, it is time to make the menus and the tool bar configurable ...

Would it be possible to make optional the "Help on...", "Documentation on...', "Edit ..." options that appear on the context menu.

I find the Editor context menu is a little too busy.

Just need the essentials: copy/paste, Run Selection, Indent/format selection, comment/uncomment selection.

The rest of the items are available elsewhere on the GUI or don't need the fine precision of mouse selection.
