Screenshot of the feature request

SUMMARY
It's about the two right-click "Open with" menu items:
- the first "Open With" menu item currently opens the app associated with the right-clicked file (i.e. "Open with Firefox Web Browser") , while
- the second menu item open a flyout menu containing the remaining apps able to open that particular file.

The associated app can also be opened by double-clicking the file.
I.e. I can open a html file in Firefox either by double-clicking or right-clicking on the file. After right-clicking I need to move cursor to the right, than left-click on the "Open with Firefox Web Browser" menu item - that's two actions more, so I never use that route.

IMO (that's the feature request), the main/first "Open with" menu item could open the second associated app (i.e. Sublime Text for html files), while Firefox menu item could go away or to the end of the flyout, after all other associated apps.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right-click on a file
2. Open the file in the main associated app or the second associated app

OBSERVED RESULT
The file can be opened in the main associated app either by double-clicking on it or by choosing the first item in the contextual menu. Practically, the contextual menu is never used for that.

EXPECTED RESULT
The file can be opened in the main associated app by double-clicking on it or in the second associated app by choosing the first item in the contextual menu - now the two shortest clicks sequences have different uses.
