The new branch 'feature/context-menu' now includes also the variable 'context-menu-overriding-function' that can override the normal menu. But I have no idea on which mode to test it. It makes sense to override the normal menu in modes that produce too long menus, such as a long list of candidates in flyspell-mode. But flyspell-mode already overrides the menu with own [down-mouse-3], and rewriting it to use context-menu-overriding-function might cause backward-incompatibility bugs.
