Post menu under mouse cursor when windows key is pressed?
Is there a plugin that opens the blackbox menu underneath the mouse cursor?

I made a mistake in my post. I mean to say, when I press the windows key, I want the menu to appear under the cursor.

In regards to...

WithAction(ShowMenu), DoThis(@BBCore.ShowMenu)

Where would I put that. I have bblean 1.16 installed, but haven't done many modifications.

I don't believe that's possible, but you can specify a key to show the menu.

That's a shame. I use the windows key to pop open the menu. It's always in the place I last used it. The behavior I would like is to have it popup wherever the mouse cursor is [while using the windows key].

Sounds like a good idea for a plugin. shame I don't know how to program shit.

Of coarse you can change the behavior of how the menu appears via a key binding..

Have a look at bbKeys.rc in a text editor, you'll find it in the bbKeys directory in the 'plugins' sub folder of your Blackbox directory.

Then carefully checkout Kerman's answer again as the difference of what is in the default bbKeys.rc and Kerman's answer is very subtle.

I'm kind of confused. I don't understand any of the replies. so far, minimals seems the most direct. Is it or is it not possible to make the menu popup under the mouse cursor when using the WIN key to invoke it? I'm uber confused.

...I have been using bblean for about 2 years now
