Kovid - I've never understood why a desktop (or laptop) program (ebook-viewer) that is based on the HTML layout engine used by Google's Chrome Browser doesn't have a common or garden context menu like every other desktop app - including the Chrome browser
Care to explain.

Yeah - I guess tabbing would be OK, I don't want to be proscriptive, I can live or workaround most things
My coherent Fluent ribbon remark wasn't serious, inside joke with no one in particular
Fluent Ribbons are a feature of MS Office that most people say they don't like. Many developers take there old menu and button bar user interface and convert 1:1 to a ribbon interface - and end up with a jumbled mess - i.e. incoherent. If you read the MS guidelines they state pretty emphatically that that approach is unlikely to work.
What OS do you use, all the Fluent applications I can think of are Windows. If you have access to a recent Windows 10 system, the File Explorer program has a Ribbon interface.
