First choice in output drop down menu = Create Indicator (and v.v. Control for inputs)

How many times have YOU right-clicked on an output of a function to select Create... --> Indicator, or on a function input to select Create --> Control?  I find myself doing that operation over-and-over-and-over-again. Wouldn't it be handy if the first choice of the drop down was Create Indicator (or Create Control for the inputs), i.e. above "Visible items >"?

Not directly related, but a number of software which have the user's productivity as a mantra, have implemented a less rigid approach: there is a default order in the contextual menu items, and those get rearranged as the user keeps using them so that the most commonly used function is ranked first and so on... Or if I am just making this up, this should be patented by a troll right away.

I must add, just in case the joke was not obvious, that I would HATE this feature.
