• create a new database object of the same type;
• edit the selected object in its editor;
• rename the selected object;
• drop the selected object from the database;
• duplicate the selected object (create a new object with the same DDL structure and properties as the selected object has);
• access common Tasks applied to this object;
• perform data manipulation operations (for tables and views);
• generate the object script and open it in SQL Editor;
• generate the object script and copy its text to Windows clipboard;
• refresh all objects of the selected object type;
• view/edit the database registration information within the Database Registration Info dialog (for database objects);
• create a new tab for the selected object to access it through this tab quickly and/or manage the existing tab;
• search for an object within the tree.
