That would save me a ton of time. Right now you can do it for an item, but not for thr grid.

Equally as important, I personally find the 32 or so icons that appear when right clicking to be a murderous user interface :), I know you are trying to find a way to fit a lot in a little space, but the end result is that it is for me unusuable. I can right click in Firefox or any other number of programs and in less than 1 seconds make my selection from 25 or so easy to read text based selections. In IQ I avoid right clicking altogether because it means I have to spend 10 seconds hovering over a bunch of little icons trying to figure out what each one does. BTW, if you go to text based selections for right click, you can still quite nicely separate them into groups with horizontal lines to give them meaning.

Thanks

David, regarding the second part of your post, have you seen -- link to nonexistent node ID 136 --? That page needs expanded a little; to change to text, and font, for an individual icon on a toolbar, you click customize, then right click on the icon you wish to change, and change to "image and text" or "text only" as shown, and "begin a group" to force it to one line.

I quickly changed my item context around, and made it look like this.

Thanks much Keith, it is typical of IQ that there would actually be an option for this :D. That's a compliment to Pierre. Though I definitely think for ease of use text should be the default, this goes back to my comments in the past the ease of use needs to be worked on to help drive adoption. Anyhow, thanks again, this is great, I will use right click constantly now that I can change it.

I would agree with David that the default should be as in other programmes - text, grouped, with seperators dividing groups -

I know most of the icons but it can take an age to find one I'm not familiar with or using often

I've added an option to select regular (default) or 2-D context menus
