Describe the project you are working on

Godot.

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

The Godot launcher currently does not have a right click menu for projects. This subverts my expectations when it comes to interactability of these items.

Right click on project/list items is ubiquitous, at least in the software I use. I always expect list items to be right clickable, and I'm thrown off when this is not supported.
As an example, this is the current PyCharm project manager right click menu:

Here's the current XCode right click menu (funnily enough, just a single item; users are expected to manage items with the keyboard for some reason):

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

I would like to propose the following items for the right click menu of the godot launcher:

  • Open in editor
  • Run main scene
  • Show in file manager
  • Copy path
  • Rename
  • Duplicate
  • Remove from project list

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

Godot already has support for context menus. I'm not familiar with the details, but I imagine adding one to the launcher shouldn't be super difficult.

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

No.

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?

It's for editor UX.
