I have finally found the key in syntax that I have been searching literally months for to free me from the awful ribbon interface.inputmanager popupitem [Number 1],[Number 2]This will force numerous dialogues, sub-dialogues and drop down menus into a popup item directly under my mouse cursor!
For example
inputmanager popupitem -548,2 => Opens the reference manager
inputmanager popupitem -548,3 => Opens the raster manager
inputmanager popupitem -605,3 => Opens the colour dropdown menu for attributes
inputmanager popupitem -605,4 => Opens the line style dropdown menu for attributes
The problem is there is no documentation available for me listing all available [Number 1],[Number 2] combinations. Brute forcing with random numbers brings up some wild results.The closest information I can find is Keyins to toggle dialogs and toolboxes (pre-V8) and refers to a now non-existent file called Program\MicroStation\mdl\include\dlogids.h
Can someone please point me in the right direction?I have tried using dmsg dialogdebug onbut it is not providing great results, especially with post v8i components

I disliked the ribbon some much it slowed me down , I spent more time in the search tool than doing drawing! and it delayed me using CE as long and as often as possible resorted to V8i instead.. and only used CE for the extra features and only when needed occasionally. Not a really good situation.
