If you post the most common Biab actions, hotkeys you use or need I will try to add them to the Chord Picker Tool default User Action Buttons, any of these can also be set to the middle mouse button to save going through tress of menus. Free Biab Chord Picker Tool

If you are running in "Always On Top" mode, the BB Menu could also be added to the Chord Picker GUI:

The User Action Buttons are in the settings.ini in the Chord Picker install folder, open with Notepad.
You have the button name: ButtonCA11name=Unfold
and the button function: ButtonCA11funct=!{e},{Down 10},{Right},{Down 5},{Enter}
so it sends Alt+e to open the Edit menu
goes down 10
then right
down 5 and hits enter.
