Is it possible to implement a custom tool menu similar to the one (below) we get when pressing spacebar in Blender 2.8 using the python API?
I couldn’t find an Edit Source option when I right-clicked on this menu.
Is it possible?
There seem to be ways to create popup menus using the python API. I haven’t done anything like this myself but maybe this is useful to you:
Hi @lone_noel. Thanks for sharing this. But I wasn’t looking for a search pop up. It can be easily implemented using a prop_search method.
I was looking for a way to create a custom tool menu like the one we get when pressing spacebar.
The operator for this is named wm.toolbar, so I’d start looking at the implementation of that.

Thank you so much, @brecht for pointing me to the code itself. I ll try to read and wrap my head around this.
