[Bounty] ($50) Clickable Menu Icons, Right-click Context Menus about cataclysm-dda HOT 4 OPEN

We already have quick shortcuts in Android builds and it should not take much to get them working on desktop (WIP is here - https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/compare/master...ZhilkinSerg:Cataclysm-DDA:ui-quick-shortcuts?expand=1). Displaying icons in addition to keys in quick shortcuts should be rather easy too.

The issue is if you press ? on a main game screen with the following patch you will see that there are too many commands (144 in total, 80 of which are bound to a key). There is probably no way all icons for them would fit on a screen without obscuring much of the map.

Personally I'd prefer this added as an accessibility option that can default on for new players rather than a compulsory thing, personally I'd have no interest using it and I imagine the same goes for alot of peeps who've played alot and I'd rather not lost screen space for something I'm never going to interact with. You literally said as much, I can't read >_<

Maybe we can show a menu when you right-click on your character/nearby terrain to list the action you can do (similar to the current action menu). It won't take any screen space until requested, and adding icons to the menu should be easy.

This is where the right-click context menu option comes in. CDDA has a ton of keybinds that aren't used commonly ("look at the sky", anyone?) and I feel that those bindings would be perfect for a drop down menu, rather than having a dedicated icon for every single keybind in the game.
