utils2 enhancements

[Pierre Béland]

Hi Bjoern
Actions on objects can come from the core or various Plugins. It is possible to replace a building node by a way by simply using the Replace geometry.
A Contextual menu would greatly help to summarize possible actions when pressing the left mouse button. 

For example, the Replace geometry action would be proposed when either a node or way building are selected simultaneously with a new way.

Hi Vincent,

At the moment the buildings plugin doesn't have a menu presence. So I'm
less confident about how the UI might work. Many plugins take up smenu
space, so would not want to clutter it more. Any thoughts?
