Thank you for reporting this enhancement request! I can confirm that this is a valid enhancement request on: Version: 4.1.0.0.alpha1+Build ID: ed8f9ec2caa8485691999e5565a79e451e1dcb Date: Wed May 8 18:48:38 2013 +0200 Platform: Bodhi Linux 2.2 x64 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + As I've been able to confirm the enhancement request I am marking as: New (confirmed) Enhancement - Low - while it could help in specific cases, for others they might find it to be annoying to have a longer list on right click, also what's to say we choose this feature over the other 100+ that people regularly use and what on right click context menu? the current setup is functional, the added functionality would be limited Note: We need UX advice on this before moving it forward as they may say it's a no go (WONTFIX). @bugquestcontri - are you able to email the UX team on their mailing list and see what they have to say? I'm curious to hear what outcome you'd find from talking to Astron and the few others who regularly contribute over on that side of our project.

@Joel - Thanks for looking into this matter. As for contacting the UX team, I am willing to do it but what means UX team and how to contact this team? (I still need to learn a lot!!!)
As a new convert from MS Office, which had the format painter in the context menu, I'd like to add my vote.
Just a heads up - there is no "voting" - this is a meritocracy, the things that get done are the things that volunteers choose to do not what users "vote" to get done. No offense - just want to be clear about how our project works :)
@Joel What is the process, for non-programming members of the community, for letting the programming members know what features we'd like to see?
None. There is no democracy "users want this." Devs volunteer to fix or implement whatever they choose to fix or implement. We have a merit based setup. If you want to help contribute even in a non technical way you can learn more about how the project works. Feel free to email me
As format paintbrush isnt contextual and isnt highly used like clipboard functions, i wouldnt be for this. UX-Team: Reopen if you disagree.
