The main Item menu is missing grouping options.

Usually the main menu of an application provides access to all major features. Grouping is certainly a major feature, and currently it's only accessible in the right-clock menu when in Icon-view.

One particular need for having the Group sub-menu accessible from the main menu, is when in Preview mode, which currently lacks a right-click menu.

Two additional advantages:
1. As Maik has pointed out (in another bug), main-menu items are available as toolbar actions (ie. can be added as toolbar buttons).
2. Similarly, main-menu items can be assigned keyboard shortcuts.

Would like to voice my support for this enhancement! 

> main-menu items can be assigned keyboard shortcuts

This in particular would help my workflow a lot.
