@oantolin What do you think about this change? It is a relatively unobtrusive addition, and purely optional. I started using the context menu a bit. I like it for discoverability, and also for onboarding new users.

It doesn't get in the way of people who don't use the context menu, so I'm all for it. Let me test it a bit and i'll get back to you.

Maybe you have some improvement ideas too - about how the target is presented. Right now the menu entries are fixed, but the target can be seen as tooltip. But tbh I find tooltips on menus sometimes a little bit too much.

Friendly ping @oantolin :)

I've finally gotten around to testing this, and I like it. Putting the actions in the menu always felt very overwhelming to me. This is a nice compromise. And I'd leave the tooltips as-is, they do add to the experience and are not too long.
