Remove that stuff, for example the editor-things in there are not
needed, IMHO (cut,copy,paste at least). Bookmarks, does anybody need the
bookmark stuff in the context menu when we have a editor-sidebar to add
a bookmark? I don't think so. Undo/Redo don't belong there either.

And many of the others will be in submenu. Currently I think we'll end
up with the same amount of items as I have now (about 20) with all
features of KDev4. We just need to really think about what makes sense
to have in the context menu and not just sutff things in there.

All in separate submenus.
