I don't find the menus messy, they are pretty well organised actually. And u already find on top the most used actions on a file manager :
- clipboard action: cut/copy/paste
- file operation action : rename move to trash delete...
- open with section
- contracts section
-property

If i want to Open a folder or a file i probably just click on it instead of right click + open.
So this entry menu is unnecessary.

I think open with section and contract should stick together they are about the same applications semantic.
Maybe 5 open with applications menus is a bit too much reducing to 3 may be better.

I agree that select all should move to the clipboard section.

Title:
  re-organize context menus

Status in Marlin:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  The organization of the current context menus is a little odd. I'd
  like to propose a new organization that (hopefully) puts more used
  items towards the top and lesser used items towards the bottom. It's
  organization also allows menus to be more consistent in their
  placement amongst themselves (even though they contain different
  items). Note that I used the phrase "Get Info" instead of
  "Properties". I feel like this is a more friendly wording, but this is
  only my opinion and I won't protest if you disagree on that point.
  Here is the proposal:

  ### Click in an Empty Space:

  Create New Folder...
  --
  Select All
  Paste
  --
  Show Hidden Files and Folders
  --
  Get Info

  ### Click on a Folder:

  Open
  Open in New Tab
  --
  Cut
  Copy
  Paste into Folder
  --
  %Contractor
  --
  Rename...
  --
  Move to Trash
  Delete
  --
  Colors
  --
  Get Info

  ### Click on an Item:

  Open with "DefaultAppName"
  Open with >
  --
  Cut
  Copy
  --
  %Contractor
  --
  Rename...
  --
  Move to Trash
  Delete
  --
  Colors
  --
  Get Info
