Re: [Texmacs-dev] Running without a GUI plus other ideas and tasks

[Alvaro Tejero Cantero]

If a reorganizations of menus / toolbars / interfaces in general is on
the pipeline, I wish to draw attention again to the desirability of
having the right-click menu become contextual. E.g. when
right-clicking on an image, instead of being offered the whole menu
tree, just those items related to images. Same for tables, equations,
etc.
