Tutorial / Preset: Nice Mouse Menu with Submenu

With recent versions floating menus got more powerful. Here is a preset with an example menu that can be shown by either a three finger click (click & move cursor while still touching the trackpad) or via a "long right-click". The menu comes with a submenu that is shown on-hover.

Great solution and great use of BTT's new capabilities!

However, I won't hide the fact that it will soon be a year since the announcement of the new feature of custom widgets, and unfortunately, they are still not implemented. Do you plan to add them? I am very keen on this feature.

By the way - if you don't want to overpay for using Vimeo to embed recordings, I recommend using PeerTube (you've probably heard of it as a Mastodon user). There are many free servers that will allow you to publish your recordings :wink:

sorry the widgets have been postponed / cancelled because the macOS api turned out to be too limited. I’ll soon check whether anything has improved with macOS Sequoia.
With the given api only a very limited subset of features could be offered.

So the current solution is to set the window level of the floating menu to desktop, which will achieve pretty much the same :slight_smile:

I’ll checkout PeerTube!

This looks amazing, thanks for the great work Andreas!
