Hi Thomas,

Form a selection plugin you could just present a dialog with the possible choices when the plugin is activated. If you want to customize the menu then you would probably have to implement an workspace access plugin. More information about this type of plugin can be found here:

http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-editor/concepts/workspace-access-plugin.html

On the applicationStarted() callback you will have to obtain access to an WSEditor (for example using StandalonePluginWorkspace.getEditorAccess()). You should also listen for notifications when a new editor is opened. Once you have a WSEditor instance you can use it to obtain the current page (through WSEditor.getCurrentPage()). This will either be an instance of WSAuthorEditorPageBase (if you are in author mode) or an instance of WSTextEditorPage (if you are in text mode). Now you can use one of the addPopUpMenuCustomizer() methods you've already identified. The editor page offers API to detect the current selection, for example : WSTextBasedEditorPage.getSelectionStart().

Please let us know if you require additional information.

Best regards,
Alex

I want to add the ability to dynamicaly create a menu with choices of things to do with the selection that will both work with the click and the shortcut key.

I think I want to use addPopUpMenuCustomizer(AuthorPopupMenuCustomizer) in ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.editor.page.author.WSAuthorEditorPageBase

OR

addPopUpMenuCustomizer(TextPopupMenuCustomizer) in ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.editor.page.text.WSTextEditorPage

But I am not sure if either of these are the correct directions to go in.

How would I accomplish such a task?
