KHTML and context

So, with revision of 1.25 to kdelibs/khtml/khtml_popupmenu.rc, Stephan Binner removed a function from the context menu in KHTML that I happen to use quite frequently. This commit was the one that took away the 'View document source' action from my right-click menu in Konqueror, and I can't begin to tell you how unhappy that makes me.

First off, as a web developer, 'View document source' is probably one of the single most valuable debugging tools that a web browser provides to me. No matter where I am on the page, I don't have to move the mouse much to get to the background, and from there, it's a single click, drag, and release away before I'm viewing the source to the web page that I want to see. It's the fastest way to do it if one hand is on the mouse. Since we don't have a keyboard accelerator OR a keyboard shortcut for the 'View document source' action in the menu, either, there's no easy way to get to it via the keyboard. (see my patch to fix this issue)

So, in the interim, while I wait and see how strongly Stephan feels about his commit, I'm also distributing a much better (imho) popup menu configuration file on my site as well. This menu is much leaner than the one that's included by default in KDE CVS - it has the 'Stop Animations' and 'Set Encoding' entries taken out, as well as rearranging the order of the link-related menu items. AND it has the 'View document source' item back where it belongs.

I'd love to hear your comments on this. Do you care about this? Am I getting irrationally annoyed? Does it really make that much of a difference? (My opinion, of course, is that it does, but I'd love to hear other peoples' viewpoints on this situation.)

Also, feel free to mail me with your thoughts as well as posting them here.
