Doesnt OSX do this though ? The contextual menus on the dock I just tried
give me a "show in finder" which I cant find on any other menu.

Conmtentual menus may be bad - but in a windows world users actually *expect*
them oddly enough. Right click and look for "properties" is second nature
to most windows people I know. Dont underestimate the importnace of
familiarity. We all know that the modern keyboard layout is suboptimal after
all, but its one mostr people know and comming up with better solutions hasnt
been met with mass market success oddly enough.

-bat.
