Since the verify first time i used libreoffice, i found this to be a weird
behaviour as cut, copy, paste and also paste special [bug 62947] should be the
first items in the menu, as they are the most frequently used feature in the
right-click context menu. But i simply added this thought to my list of
enhancements, which i planned to submit after 4.3 was released.

But now that i've gone through the statistics from OOo's tracking stats <
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Tracking_results >, i think it is crucial to
do it immediately.

Here is the top 10 used entries from writer's right-click menu

 1. Paste            - 1,119,606 *
 2. Copy             -   592,585 *
 3. Cut              -   225,137 *
 4. Picture          -    47,078
 5. Paragraph        -    41,302
 6. Clear Formatting -    30,401
 7. Remove Hyperlink -    29,392
 8. Table            -    21,493
 9. Character        -    20,466
10. Page             -    16,921

And here are writer's keyboard shortcut stats

 1. Paste         - 1,471,565
 3. Copy          -   784,925
 6. Cut           -   223,061
??. Paste Special -    17,280

And here are writer's menu bar stats

 5. Paste         - 194,828
 6. Copy          - 125,028
16. Cut           -  42,855
??. Paste Special -  32,600

And here are writer's toolbar stats

17. Copy          - 77,717
22. Cut           - 58,903
??. Paste Special -    205
??. Paste         -      8 (this must be wrong)

And here is calc's right-click menu stats

1. Paste         - 924,525
2. Copy          - 654,339
6. Cut           - 163,492
8. Paste Special -  74,035

You can see in ever instance (except for the clearly incorrect toolbar stats),
its always Paste, Copy and Cut.

After looking over ms word's ribbon UI, you can see that the first button in
the main/home toolbar is a large paste button, with small cut and copy icon
next to it. Thats how much emphasis microsoft knows that it needs.
