add 'Add Comment' to the right click menu

Hello!
I like to annotate my workflows when finished, and it can be a bit of a pain to add more and more comment tools by searching for them, or going through the current right-click menu:

What would be nice is the option to right click anywhere on the canvas, and have the option of 'add comment', similar to how we have the option for 'add container' when selecting tools on the canvas.

 

Cheers!

And if you right-click on a tool and say "Add Comment" then it pops you straight into the comment section for any given tool; sets the focus etc.
OH - and add a hotkey.

I can't tell you how much time I've spent clicking on the tool; then going to the label icon, then clicking on the comment box.

 

instead - just select the tool; press ctrl-alt-c; and start typing
