Since there's a few opinions on this, how about we make a dwm "focus"

Hi,
recently the order of items
[Delete, Kill, Fullscreen]
in the menu that appears when right-clicking on a window's titlebar
changed to
[Kill, Delete, Fullscreen]
Now I often hit "Kill" accidentally, which shuts down the whole
application - not just the window.
How can I r

of these two cases is as expected. I'm simply stating that the current
way that DWM handles windows works fine for most users without us
