I'm not sure if this would be more useful:
Describe `display-...'
Lookup `display-...' in Manuals
Show Definition of `display-...'
Show References for `display-...'

Generally, I agree, but the problem is that "Describe Character"
is not specific to the currently discussed emacs-lisp-mode.
Should the context menu always contain "Describe Character"
in all buffers?

The "Select" sub-menu is a good idea. For example, LibreOffice has
a sub-menu "Selection Mode" with "Standard" and "Rectangle Selection".
Gimp even has the top-level menu "Select", etc. But this means that
region-related part of the context menu doesn't need to be the same
as region-related part of the Edit sub-menu of the menu-bar?

Maybe not in Show/Hide sub-menu that is related only to visible parts
of the screen.
