Description of the new feature/enhancement

Allow defining menu item actions for right click on terminal tab (paste, splitPane, etc)

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Allow user to add actions to the menu that currently pops up when a tab is right clicked (currently Color, Rename Tab, Close) and show any key bound to the action as well, for example:

"Paste          ctrl+v"
"Find           ctrl+shift+f"
"splitPane      alt+shift+d"

This will allow the user to bind actions to menu items (automatically created for any command in the actions section of the config) to reclaim key sequences like ctrl+v for other tasks and use the right click menu to accomplish the same task while the configured command is bound to some undesirable key sequence like shift+insert. It will also provide an easy quick reference to the configured key bindings for the user.
