Customizing the right mouse button in Allegro

I'm relatively new to Cadence so haven't learned all the hooks yet but getting there. I want to be more efficient in item selection. I'd like to customize the picks with the right mouse button when there is no command running. So when the cursor is in free-space and I click the RMB, there is a customize selection on the pop-up (I'm in GEN edit). I'd like to either add my selections to the pop-up or to one of the sub pop-ups. Such as show element, measure, highlight, etc. I could alias them which i have donw in some cases. I'm just wondering if it's possible to modify the RMB menu. Thanks.

    Steve,

    I don't know of anyway to modify the default RMB menu.  There may be a solution, but I'm not aware of one.  Cadence may be listening.  If so, they may respond.  If there is not a way, I would suggest you submit an enhancement request to make the RMB menu, user configurable.

    Thanks Charlie. I suppose I will just alias as much i can and use all the function keys.
