Bug Description

Working on poster designs I use to change case of a selectet text very often.

To change case I have to select text and then go through Extensions>Text and select relevant item. It is very time consumin. I think It will be faster and more user friendly if changing case is possible from context menu.

See attached image.

(Note that I'm not sure it's possible to add an extension UI in the context menu, but I agree with your idea.)

Just had a look at the context menu code, and if it's very easy to add a dialog in the list, it's far more complicated (at least for me...) to add the extension menu.

As a workaround, did you try Extensions>Previous extension to repeat the last used extension?

Another workaround: use the ID of the extensions to add a custom keyboard shortcut in '~/.config/inkscape/keys/default.xml' for the most frequently used ones (or for the two verbs 'EffectLast' (repeats last used extension with previous values) and 'EffectLastPref' (opens the extensions dialog)).

For examples, see the shortcuts for the recently added Typography extensions by Felipe Sanches:
