Would it be easy (and acceptable to the Haiku Board of Directors) to have a similar functionality to other OSes and Firefox, etc. whereby in a text entry box or even in the Haiku text control used by Styled Edit to get a pop-up context menu for cut, paste, select all, etc. when right clicking on selected text.
It from former me this lacks already, on example in StylesEdit or Terminal. I speak with certain programmer even, he wrote, from thenwork on half day Unfortunately, he does in Haiku now heavier thing . Therefore I favour your idea fully
@nutela: The screenshot is just Firefox on my BeOS R5 net_server.
I don’t see an open enhancement for this yet but before I add one, I was just wondering from the user experience (not in the code) how this will work together with the already existing functionality whereby if text string is selected the right-click drag n drop will let you copy (or move with in StyledEdit) the selected text.

I don’t see any conflict here as current drag-and-drop uses both mouse keys in StyledEdit. In many other applications like the Mail right key is used for context menu.
Every text entry control should have, per default, an “Edit Actions” popup menu with Copy/Cut/Paste/Select All actions associated to the secondary mouse click. The app in question should be able to disable/override the said popup menu, of course.
The popup menu should be “sticky”, as ALL of them should be, IMO (does anyone really tolerates non-sticky menues?).
