Summary: usability suggestions

Initial Comment:
A context menu is supposed to relate to the context,
not the entire application.  Therefore, I suggest
removing Global Options from the default context menu.

This is also in accordance with the Java Look and Feel
guidelines:

Additionally, readability studies have shown that an
indent width of four spaces is optimal so I would
propose changing that as well.  Supported by

Tab width should remain at 8 spaces though since that
is its historic value.
