[interface] Add new menu items to bottom of context menu

[gnombat]

Basically, the idea is that the WML tag [url=https://wiki.wesnoth.org/InterfaceActionsWML#.5Bset_menu_item.5D]set_menu_item[/url] should add new menu items to the bottom of the context menu rather than the top.

Adding a menu item at the top (the current behavior) moves all other menu items away from their expected locations; for example, the "Undo" menu item is usually at the top, but when set_menu_item is used the new menu item shows up in the place where "Undo" usually is, so it is easy to click the new item by mistake when intending to click "Undo". This would not happen if the new menu item were added to the bottom of the menu.

This page has a good description of usability issues when adding menu items to an existing menu (warning: may contain strong language):

Iirc you can change the position of the wml menu items in the rght click menu by editor the cfg file of the default theme, no guarentee though.

Yes, editing data/themes/default.cfg works (tested in 1.13.4):

Code: Select all

[menu]
    is_context_menu=true
    items=wml,undo,redo,...,delayshroud,updateshroud
[/menu]

Move wml to the end of the list:

Code: Select all

[menu]
    is_context_menu=true
    items=undo,redo,...,delayshroud,updateshroud,wml
[/menu]

I think that's a good idea

I usually only ever use the context menu for custom menu items. For the default stuff I use keyboard shortcuts.

same as pauxlo, since the custom menu items are the most used menu items here, i think they should stay at the top of the list.
