contextual menu #94

hi, please add a contextual menu, right clicking on (selected) text, that show at least: cut, copy, paste, ..., other

Actually in the original nedit and in xnedit there is already a context menu, that contains all of that and is also customizable. The problem is, that it sometimes doesn't work. I believe it doesn't work if num-lock is active.

I don't know if this is an Xt, motif or xnedit bug. I also have no idea yet how to create a workaround for that.

yes it's true, disabling NumLock it work and it has: Undo Redo Cut Copy Paste

it is a pity that NumLock is ON by default on most keyboard as cursors,start,end,pag-up,pag-down are available on separate keys, so is best have numbers on the num pad, and in that situation XNEdit does not have a context menu
