Add arbitrary actions to the right-click context menu.

Binary Ninja registers a large number of UI actions — everything you can see and bind in the keybindings list. Most are reachable only via a hotkey or a top-level menu. Custom Context lets you surface any of them directly in the right-click context menu so they're a click away wherever you're working.

Open Plugins ▸ Custom Context ▸ Configure Context Menu… to pick actions:

• Search the full list of registered actions and Add → the ones you want.
• Reorder your selections (Move Up / Move Down, or drag-and-drop) and Remove any you no longer need.
• Choose where the block of custom actions sits in the menu with the section position control (0 = top, 255 = bottom).

Your selections are saved to user settings and applied immediately — no restart needed. Clicking OK refreshes the menus of all open views, and any view opened afterward picks up the configuration as well.

• Works in the linear, graph, hex, types, and stack views (the views Binary Ninja exposes a context-menu hook for).
• Actions appear only where they're valid. Binary Ninja builds context menus with inactive actions hidden, so each action's own isValid logic decides where it shows up (e.g. a function-only action won't clutter the hex view).
• Action names that contain \ (such as Patch\Convert to NOP) render as submenus, exactly as they appear elsewhere in the menus.
• Actions that are already part of a view's native context menu are left untouched rather than duplicated.
• In the configuration dialog, actions that are already in the right-click menu are shown greyed out in the available list. Hover for the reason — either the action is already in your selection on the right, or it's a native item in an open view's right-click menu. (Native detection looks at the currently open views; with no file open the dialog can't probe and disables nothing on that basis.) The plugin's sync would skip such duplicates anyway; the disable just surfaces that up front so you don't add an action expecting it to appear and then wonder why it doesn't.

The plugin registers a UIContextNotification and reconciles each view's context menu via three event-driven hooks (no polling / no isValid abuse):

• OnContextMenuCreated — fires once when a view first builds its (persistent) context menu; adds the configured actions for that view.
• OnViewChange — fires when you switch view type within a frame (e.g. linear ↔ graph), refreshing the now-current view in case it was previously cached with stale items.
• On dialog save — walks the open tabs/frames and re-applies the change directly, so updates are immediate without a restart.

The sync is stateless and idempotent: the plugin recovers its own items from a menu by querying the menu group, rather than tracking object identity (which avoids the "Internal C++ object already deleted" GC trap when wrappers churn).
