The zoom / grid options on the context menu are available when using an interactive tool.  That doesn’t really work well with the toolbar versions.

Why are cut/copy/paste on the context menus?  They must be the most known command-keys in computerdom.

A list of Command IDs for which popup entries will be suppressed, in the config file. When one eventually wants to make it user friendly, it looks like http://blogs.solidworks.com/tech/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/menu-customisation.jpg.
