I any proposal of this kind I think it is important to give the possibility to use only the keyboard. Some people do not want to use the mouse and some simply can not use it. Why not let the menu-bar menu have entries for working with the "current option". The "current option" could be that where the point is. (I implemented this kind of functionality in my proposal long ago for a redressed Custom GUI.)
