This is a useful practical introduction to the new context menu functionality. Since power users rarely use the mouse or right click at all, I have found that context menus are a great space for making custom functionality accessible to semi-technical users on a file by file basis. Yes, this breaks all sorts of usability guidelines related to consistency. On the other hand if used judiciously it can save the user an enormous amount of time by giving the a single place to look for functionality that is relevant to them in a given context.

Context menu is a great place for these things. If it’s not in line with how out emacs overlords thought things should work, they should provide a better solution for it.
