Many people get confused when they accidentally hit "q" as their first 
acquaintance with this feature.  You're not the first and surely not the 
last.

I believe the problem formerly was that the text widget pan uses to 
display the body has its own context menu, and it was relatively hard or 
impossible to modify it.  At least, was consistently been a weak point, 
without the rich context menu options seen elsewhere in pan.  It's 
possible he changed widgets along the line and it's possible now, but 
he's so used to ignoring it...  Also, if you notice, it still appears the 
menu is pretty static, with all menu items appearing all the time, altho 
items can be disabled.
