While there are a wide range of commands, I think only the common ones should be added to the context menu. I don't think stuffing context menus with all possible commands is a good choice, this will cause users end up finding commands in submenus.

I think we can refer to software like notepad++, notepad3, etc to see which commands are worth to be added to the context menu.
