Copy as first item in Opera hotclick popup menu

In Opera 10.60, Copy menu item was moved down in hotclick popup menu and several users don't like this change because they use copy more frequently than search. You can easily bring it to top by editing menu configuration file.

You are offered: custom menu file should contain all sections. This is wrong.

When will release Opera 11, will appear extensions items in the standard menu. But if the user will use a custom menu, he will not see these items.

Correctly solution: user configuration file must contain only one section (the one you want to change). In this case, the remaining sections will be duplicated from the standard menu file and extensions items will be appear.

It may happen that user did not guess that the rest must be erased. I think it should be accentuate because it is important wink
