Can the commands which appear only in the tag column's right-click context menu be added to the Tags (or Tags | Tags) menu please?

Background
As I have ticked Customise List | Full Row Select, I cannot access the tag column's right-click context menu (which I would prefer not to use anyway, as I am a keyboard person). I found the menu while searching for a way to copy tags – I saw reference to the 'Copy Tags to Clipboard' command in this post and tracked down the command to the context menu after first switching off full row select.

If I am correct that the context menu is the only place that 'Copy Tags to Clipboard' appears, is it possible to add that command, and others such as 'Add Tags from Clipboard', to the Tags (or Tags | Tags) menu, please.

I can use highend's scripts from that thread, but it would be really nice to have built-in menu commands somewhere other than just the context menu.

Why do you want them in a menu when you're a keyboard person?
Way faster to execute them via a keyboard shortcut (the scripted versions) anyway...

And if it's necessary to have them in a menu, why don't you use a little script to create your own menu with them (and invoke that one via a ks)?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against this wish^^

Good question .

So the commands can be discovered more easily by everyone.

Even though I am a keyboard person, I do use the menus sometimes to hunt for a new command or find one again that I've not used for a while. Commands in a main menu are more visible and would also appear in the List of All Commands. As it is, I had no idea these tags commands existed until I found the post (I couldn't find any reference to them in the Help).

Also, I could use the command IDs in a script.

FYI if you have this enabled

Configuration | Information | Tags | [x] Also on Full Row Select

you can use the ctx menu with FRS enabled.

I turned off 'Toggle tags by column click' a long time ago, and the indentation of the Configuration dialog indicated to me that 'Also on Full Row Select' is dependent on that one being enabled – which is the case for toggling tags but, thanks to you, I now know is not the case for displaying the context menu.

Thank you for the extra information.
