A step backwards or am I missing an option somewhere?

This more of a question for the people here that have been using SW for a while and have that embedded muscle memory.

In SW 2016 and prior, we had a RMB in sketch that gave us something similar to this:

And now with 2017, we now have this for the same action:

My question is who finds this a step backwards and/or does anyone know how to go back to the old menu? It has been a irk for me since I started using 2017. I know there was a push several releases back to reduce mouse clicks and to me this is a step back adding more clicks. Yes I do have mouse gestures setup but that is limited to just 8 and the muscle memory always automatically goes to RMB.

I think, that if you hit that double arrow at the bottom, you will see a lot more items show up.

I don't have 2017, so I can't be sure.

If you select "Show all" here what do you get?

Also, if you click the double arrow at the bottom, you should be able to select "Customize Menu"

And then you can add and remove whatever you want. (I think that this controls the filtered list only though).

Dan, This is a new "Feature" in 2017 and none of those tricks will do the trick.

Looks like everything has been buried a little deeper, personally I've used shortcut keys or the shortcut bar(S) as long as it's been around, never had much use for the RMB menu. Just a personal preference, not sure if it can be organized like older versions or not, sorry!

Jordan, I seem to have the muscle memory to just hit the RMB as it has been around a long time, way before mouse gestures and the shortcut bars. I do have a button programmed on my mouse for bringing up the shortcut menu but that right middle finger is just too fast to beat out the thumb!
