The context menu for a node or edge today has limited functionality. Many of the operations simply open a side panel, so the user has to then navigate there before being able to continue the task. It would be a nice improvement to be able to do more from the menu itself. Suggestions for improvements include

• Expand 10 neighbors
• Collapse all neighbors

@krlawrence How would "collapse all neighbors" work? If I have neighbors with their own neighbors would all be collapsed?

Here's an idea that might work. Since collapsing neighbors is a bit tough to define and may collapse more than the user desires, what if instead we add an action called "Select immediate neighbors".

This action would allow the easy removal of all neighbors, but also gives the user the opportunity to deselect the neighbors they want to keep.

You can also use this action to easily move a group of items that are tedious to select.
