dashboard: an entry's menu in the document box
The document box edited an entry by a double-click and added to a map or list by the `+` on its row; a key couldn't be renamed, and a list's `+` always asked for an index. A right-click on an entry, or a finger held on it half a second, opens its menu: `Edit value` (as the double-click), `Rename key` for a map's key, and on a map `Add a key`, on a list `Append an item` or `Insert an item at…`. Renaming reads the value, writes it under the new key and deletes the old one (two writes, the value as JSON; a key that exists already isn't overwritten). Inside a field being edited, and where an entry offers nothing, the browser's own menu shows.

may only partly read, the keys on the way to what it may. Protocol data (`_continuum`)
