OK for me, but Copy Commit Info should be on top

I avoid right-clicking a link when I want to open the context menu. Then Copy commit info is on top because Copy link is invisible.
If I right-click a link, then I want to do something with the link and expect the regarding menu item(s) on top.
Note: I have added menu shortcuts. So one can right-click and hit C to copy the commit info regardless of the item's position and without moving the mouse to click the item.

How can one know whether the context menu was opened using the mouse or the keyboard (Shift+F10 or special key), especially in the event ContextMenuStrip.Opening?

Is there a benefit of having a dedicated issue for such a small feature, especially when it has already been implemented?

Do not know

Is this related to submitting this issue first, then a PR?
If so, this controls how issues/PRs appear in the release notes.
It may also be good to separate the discussion on how to do with implementation details.
But @RussKie is not strict about it.
In this case it should have been OK with a PR directly.

It is still good to have a discussion when fix isn't trivial 😏

Should we show only "Copy link (...)" menu when right clicking on a link?

Gerhard even wanted the Copy commit info before the Copy link initially.
I think having Copy link as the first item is the best compromise because then it doesn't matter where one right-clicks into the Commit Info and every available functionality is visible.
