It would be great if you implement full Right Click Context Menu feature that we know from most of Windows based applications or popular online services (like Excel Online, OneDrive etc). Having an option to right click on specific element of the Desktop application and PowerBi.com site and choose the most common task would be a great time saver.
The most obvious:
• On visualization Pane: put in context menu of each visualization options which are now hidden under right-top side icons (3 dots) : Export, SortBy, Focus Mode, Remove
• Put under Copy, Cut, Paste in context menu
• in PewerBI.com left side Navigation Pane put put in context menu every option hidden under “Open Menu” (3 dots)
• On visualization Pane: put in context menu the basic formatting options – depending on the element clicked (example: - right clicking on label would bring the possibility to change the label, disable it, change font, size etc.)

.. also like, right click on graphs created and add options like update and other options that are available in the Visualization tab for a particular graph like background color, title and other options.

RE: Right Click Context Menu

Ditto! Right click should allow you to do quite a few things, e.g. copy cell value, edit properties of the entity. Sheesh.
