Hi. I do need to change the behaviour of the Middle Click Button to show a Popup windows with commands that are displayed only as icons and seems that there it is no option in the settings to do this!
It is possible to add a settings option to display this popup window as icons like it is by default into the Windows version of Rhino?
Preferences > Mouse > Middle Mouse Button.
Select “Run this Macro”
Type : _ShowToolPalette _ToolPalette=Popup _UnderCursor=YES _Enter
Enter.
Unfortunately this script it is not solving the problem because the popup window remains active after pressing a button or clickung outside of the window. Need a native solution that will close the window popup after issuing a command.
Maybe this script can be changed to close automatically the popup window?
In windows Rhino, we have _PopupToolbar as well as _ShowToolbar. ShowToolbar leaves the toolbar open. PopupToolbar closes the popped up toolbar after a button is clicked - like the MMB toolbar.
Maybe Mac has a _PopupToolPallette command? If so that should work, I guess - nothing to test with here.
This is Rhino V5, but there must be something like this in later versions
There was in V6, but V7 behaves differently - due to a bug fix that apparently fixed a bug of some sort, but made the popup (using the mentioned macro) reappear. Very frustrating!!!
Se this topic. As I said many times: this is a workflow-regression and I really hope we would get a real popup toolbar command in V7 (or a decent fix for the macro)!

Seconded!
Adding <space>_Pause<space>_Close to the end of the macro seems to do the trick, even with “Hide tool palettes when…” unchecked.
(At least it functions in V5/mac)
Nope, sorry - doesn’t work in V7.
