  Agreed, same here,
  The context menu is too long.
  Either add icons, or add submenus. The context menu is already grouped, maybe adding submenus instead of icons could be an idea.
  
  But it would really help to have icons, at least for important tasks like :
  Pull, push, merge, create PR, delete branch, switch, create tag

  yes i agree !with the number of elements in the right click it would be super nice icons because even with the usual I waste all the time looking for the line.

  Yes PLEASE add icons to the context menu for the most common actions.
  
  Indeed the menu is quite big now, and changes based on its context. As a result, :
  - it can take time to find the action we want, especially on screen with a very high resolution
  - we can click on the wrong actions which is quite frustrating

  Absolutely agree! Please add icons for the main context menu actions to find the right option more easily/quickly.

  As a GitKraken user, I spend a considerable amount of time looking at the long context menu and trying to figure out which option I need. This would make that a lot easier, I hope.

  Finding frequently used features in the branch status menu would be faster and easier if there were icons. Especially for those of us older than 40.
  
  For example, deleting a development branch is something I do many times every day. When I right-click a dev branch to delete it, the menu is busy enough that finding the delete feature slows me down.
  
  Part of the issue is that the branch name is duplicated across many different options in the menu and I tend to have longer branch names.
  
  But I had this same issue finding options in Visual Studio and they fixed it by adding a little icon for the frequently used features and now it's much easier for my eyes.
  
  I was imagining that a small "X" for delete could help when the menu is large (see attached photo)

  As suggested by others, it doesn't need to be all the items, just start with the common actions.

  I want this feature for ever, Ive been using gitkraken for 4+ plus, and still everytime I need to find delete, renames my brains scans the list of menu names twice, tries, and I want to have a trach can for delete, pencil for edits, etc.
  
  I understand it can be distracting for other users, so I would prefer this to be a toggleable optional feature.

  That menu continues to grow. This would help, but it would only be a bandaid.
