Setting followups to vim-dev

The current right-click menu on GUI tabs is hardcoded and presents a
whole host of issues for anyone who uses code to manage buffers, tabs,
or windows. It pretends to be a sophisticated menu but it really
executes a basic Vim command which may or may not be what the user
expects. Could we at least change the menu item names to the exact
command being executed barring the option to customize these?
When using text-style tabs (in the console, or if 'guioptions' does not
include "e"), there is no tab context menu.
When using GUI-style tabs (in the GUI, but only if 'guioptions' includes "e")
I see three menu items:
Close
(close clicked tab)
New tab
(open a new tab on a [No Name] buffer)
Open tab...
(open a new file in a new tab using a file selector: I presume ":tab browse
split" or something like that)
These titles seem to me to accurately describe the operations performed. Which
titles would you prefer?
The fact that the menu is hardcoded presents two problems:
- it cannot be customized
- it cannot be invoked via ":emenu", e.g. in a mouseless console.
Best regards,
Tony.
