Disable numbered items in drop-down menus

After upgrading to macOS Catalina (currently using version 10.15.2), I noticed sequential numbers to the left of every available item listed in drop-down menus (see example below).

Is there a way to disable this "feature" so that I see only the list of items in the drop-down menu (and not the sequential numbers to the left)?

Disable the Green Button pop-up menu? Hi, I just updated to Catalina. Is there a way to disable the annoying menu that pops up when I click on the green button (I know it's only supposed to pop up if I hover over it, but it comes up even when I just click on it)? I already use bettertouchtool to control what the button does. Thanks.

adapt right-click menu's Hello , I wanted to know if it's possible to remove some options in the dropdown menu's in mail, OS Ventura 13.1 (iMac M1 2021). I want to remove, or hide the option that is given, in the "right-click" dropdown menu, to remove mailboxes. It's an option that is on top of the list before "removing unwanted advertising " , so to avoid clicking "remove mailbox" which I almost accidentally did a few times, I want to remove or hide this option in that dropdown menu. Is that possible ? Thanks in advance. Koen

Awesome! Very much appreciated. No amount of Google searching was yielding a reasonable result.
