Popup menu at cursor position - Mikes1616 - 12-13-2006
Hello-
I am looking at desktop launchers and this one seems to be the only one that is well supported.
What I want is a configurable menu to popup on the screen, at my cursor position, any time I hit "windows_key + x" key combo. I dont want the menu docked into the quicklaunch area. The menu should be invisible until I hit the key combo, appear, then dissappear.
Can this product do this? I am hoping so - I am using a discontinued product now that does this but it is SO SLOW - takes 5-7 seconds to popup (I fear there is a memory leak, or worse)
Thanks for the help!

Hmm.... I can combine this feature with "Tear off" menus.

That would be worth purchasing another license
I have been scouring the internet for programs like this (please see "launchonfly" and "ergolauncher" for examples) - both seem to be discontinued, and Ergo Launcher is extremely slow and doesnt recognize the "Windows" keybind.
Having played with tear-off menu's a bit - yes, this would be perfect - instead of remembering the position i drag it to make an option to make the coordinates at the mouse cursor position.
Some coding things to consider:
1. If menu is expanded and goes off screen, make the flyout menus expand in the opposite direction - ie. if my cursor is at the extreme right of the desktop simply opening the menu there may make the items hidden. *edit* - looks like you have this covered already
2. Have an option to make the menu hide after launching a program - so usage would be:
a. menu hidden
b. hit hotkey - menu active at cursor
c. launch application - menu hidden again
Thanks again.

Bummer!
I requested this in the old suggestions box(some of you might remember this site feature which i still think was a great thing to have) ages ago and he(Mikes1616) comes, joins, requests it and gets it?
hock: Nah just kidding. Seriously ... even i don´t need it that much anymore these days still very much appreciated Yuri.

Wrong Menu?? - Texan - 12-16-2006
Attached is the menu I get, when right clicking, while holding down Ctrl-Shift.................??????[/img]
mENU IS THE SAME - Texan - 12-16-2006
I've discovered that the menu is the SAME whether I am holding dow Ctrl-Shift or NOT??
Same Pop Up???
- Yuri Kobets - 12-16-2006
OK, now I see. The feature "Popup at Cursor" works only with "Tear Off" menus. Firstly you need to click "Tear off Menu" and then the option "Popup at Cursor" will appear.

Okay....I'll try it.......however, how do I restore a tear off menu if I decide I don't want it to be a tear off any more???
