Hello.

I have a question.
On normal Cinnamon menu you can right click programs to have some of their options displayed:
menu

On Cinnamenu however it only displays this:
Cinnamenu

I want to know if I can somehow enable the behavior of original menu or is not possible to implement?

The activator properties from original menu aren't available and they would be useful:
activator

Yes, I haven't implemented the additional application actions in the context menu because I'm not sure there's much demand for it to make it worthwhile even though it's been done in the default cinnamon menu applet. I also don't really see how it's useful. Steam is the only app that I know of that seems to make much use of it except chrome and maybe a few other apps which have "Open new Window" but all these things you can easily do from the steam app or chrome browser anyway so I don't really see the point.

As, for the "Properties" option, you can press p when the app is highlighted to open the properties (see "tips" page in config). I may add it to the context menu because a few people have requested it now. Thanks.

Just a matter of convenience really. Saving few clicks and in case of some apps launching it directly into the tab you want.

It would be nice. Pressing P still requires using a keyboard and otherwise you can fully browse it with just mouse.

Sorry, that was meant to be <crtl>p. The <ctrl> disappeared because I didn't escape the angle brackets (\<ctrl\>p)
