Well, that's non-obvious for newcomers.

Another idea I had in mind some time already: Let's just show the context menu 
of project tree view items in the tab context menu as well. I.e. "RMB on tab" 
-> More Actions. (Note that there are people not having the project tree view 
open by default)

Example use-case: One might want to rename the current document, and you could 
do so by doing RMB on tab -> More Actions -> Rename.

This would also cover the issue of Aleksey here.

Opinions?
