OneMenu

SUMMARY
When in Dolphin, the user is able to right click the folders panel on the left and gets a menu to resize icons, add new entries in the menu and unlock the panels. When the user right clicks on an item in the side panel, they get a different set of actions. However, users lose the additional panel-only menu entries. To regain those options, the user will have to find an empty area in the panel to trigger those additional actions.

Instead, I propose that we add those panel-only actions into all the other specific right click menus so that the user doesn't have to dig around the UI or resize to find empty space to trigger those panel-only actions.

This seems like a good idea for usability
