We could put that global target on 2.1 roadmap maybe. contextual menu are generally used for differents purposes: 1- access properties of the object you click in . for mapCanvas, you could have shortcuts to projection settings, project settings, current zoom and scale, refresh content, stop redraw. I think some shortcuts to render global options could be nice. I often have to play with antialiased rendering / number of objetcts to draw when displaying very large datasets. A shortcut could be nice. Do you see anything else. 2- actions under the click location (layers actions, plugins actions, finsh editing of a feature). we must precisely decide what happens for editing use case, where right click is used today top finish an object..
