How to move the "Copy" item in the context menu to the first position? ("Search pop-up" is a bad idea)

I disabled the "search pop-up" (How to Disable Search/Copy popup in Opera?) because it was constantly causing annoyance, distraction, and unwanted search issues. Search pop-up should be removed from Opera completely or at least disabled by default. Users who need to search for information will often use the address bar or visit a search engine website.
When selecting and right-clicking on text, users often want to copy it. Because of this common usage, the first item in the context menu should be "Copy". Contrary to common sense, in Opera's context menu, the first two items are "Search" and "Search with", the "Copy" item is placed in the third position.
If the first item is "Copy" then I can easily copy text without having to look at the context menu. The awkward placement of the "Copy" item forced me to constantly pay attention to the context menu to make sure I didn't accidentally submit an unintended search query. Since I can't maintain attention and move my hands precisely all the time, there have been a few times when I accidentally sent private information to the search engine.

Future versions of Opera need to put "Copy" first in the context menu, or at least have an option to do so. Copying using the context menu is better than using the search pop-up. Very few people search using the context menu..
