I'm sorry but, could you be more specific?
I don't really get it.
Using what you told to that other guy, I know how to use a different hotkey for the same radial menu, but not for a new one.

@ulmuchiha: Does Learning one's post "About opening additional radial menus by using mouse gestures." at http://www.autohotke...645.html#485029 deal with what you are trying to do?

@Learning one:Thank you very much for the code modifications to allow combining the "center" option with moving the cursor to the center! It works great!

@Guest Today:

I know it has been asked for before and I know it won't happen but having a simple hotkey or system tray menu to open RM for 10 seconds would be nice.

I suppose you want to suspend RM for 10 seconds, (but it's better to ask), right?

While my first idea was to suggest to start using modifier keys

SHIFT + left button drag&drop = move (default for files on the same partition, that is, they move with or without SHIFT)
CTRL + left button drag&drop = copy (default for files on different partitions, that is, they move with or without CTRL)
ALT + left button drag&drop = create shortcut/link

But then I thought you might want to stay pure mouse only. I guess what you need is to temporarily disable RM until the next use of the right mouse button (plus a few seconds after, just in case). You can create a mouse gesture to achieve this. I attached mine to Up-Left-Down because I rarely use it but any of them could do. Here is the script (just put it into My mouse gestures.ahk, save & reload).

MG_ULD()
{	
	old_title_match_mode := A_TitleMatchMode
	old_detect_hidden_windows := A_DetectHiddenWindows
	
	SetTitleMatchMode, 2
	DetectHiddenWindows, On
	if WinExist("Radial menu - message receiver ahk_class AutoHotkeyGUI")
	{
		SendMessage, 0x1001, 50, 0
		ToolTip, ShowHotkey disabled until the next RMB 
		KeyWait, RButton, D
		Sleep, 2000
		if WinExist("Radial menu - message receiver ahk_class AutoHotkeyGUI")
			SendMessage, 0x1001, 51, 0
		ToolTip
	}
	DetectHiddenWindows, %old_detect_hidden_windows%
	SetTitleMatchMode, %old_title_match_mode%	
}

@Learning one: Yes, I've already done that but thanks for your brief tutorial anyway.

In the example in the help file the context sensitive menus show when you press F3. Is it possible to show them without pressing a hotkey. For example always show if paintwindow is active or mouse is hovering over a special control or, or, or...

Example 8 gives context-sensitive "docks", which show without pressing a hotkey whenever a certain program is active. Of course, one has to select a dock to get the associated menu....

I want to use another mouse button, not mouse gestures of the same mouse button. I also want a regular radial menu, not a context sensitive one.

@serenityjazz: sorry for the big late, but thank you for your help! I had to suspend my tests for travelling problems, but now I'll try your solution!

@Learning one: thank you as well! I'm going to test everything, now I'm sure I can find a solution!

@loopdesign: Hi, I'm glad you like it. Smile Serenityjazz gave a good answer to your question, but I'll repeat;
If you want to I send shortcuts to active window by selecting RM item (like Control + w, Control + a, etc.), do the following;
Open RM\My codes\My functions.ahk, put function below inside and save it.
Code:
Send(What) {
Send, %What%
}
Now, if you want that selecting RM item sends;
• Control + w to active window, specify Action= fun Send|^w as item action
• Control + a to active window, specify Action= fun Send|^a as item action
• Control + Alt +a to active window, specify Action= fun Send|^!a as item action
• etc.
For more info, read RM help --> Item Action possibilities --> Executing functions, and about AHK's Send command.

Tip: If you have XButton1 on your mouse, it may be the perfect hotkey for calling context-sensitive radial menus. Note that item's submenus can be specified, but will be ignored.

Is there any specific reason for ignoring submenus on context-sensitive radial menus?

[*:3gghni7h]Thanks for kind words, and thanks to all who are giving user to user support - it's always more than a welcome.
[*:3gghni7h]The number of requests and questions about RM is constantly increasing. I realized that I'm spending too much time writing various examples & explanations, and simply need some rest from this thread. Don't worry I'm not abandoning RM, I'll just take a vacation.
