> the context menu with hundreds of options can’t be simplified to my knowledge

What context menu is this about? When I right click into the terminal area, my context menu has a grand total of... 11 items.

Hide the menu/toolbar. And 11 is too many as it is, see my comment elsewhere. Someone posted a screenshot of a new install with 16, but it still doesn't have the main menu disabled. Which adds it to the context menu.
