Tutorial Description

When Lee covered BetterTouchTool in Shows 1543 and 1547, he mentioned that he wasn't done and would be releasing some tip videos in the future covering more nuanced features within the app. Well, it didn't take long for the first one to land and it could prove to be a game-changer for you. Floating Menus aren't talked about much however they pack a lot of power. You can configure them to display clickable triggers anywhere on the screen.

In this video, Lee walks you through two of his favourite setups. The first one is a small menu button that sits in the corner of your screen and reveals 16 clickable buttons when you hover over it. The second showcases how you can configure different floating menus for different applications. This can really take your efficiency to another level.


This video covers:

  • Creating Your Base Menu
  • Fixing Menu Position
  • Window Level and Hover Actions
  • Formatting Buttons
  • Assigning Actions
  • App-Specific Menus
