Earns its place for bringing hotkey-driven, fully customizable marking menus to Blender's viewport across separate Object and Edit mode setups.
Linkage Customizable Marking Menus, developed by Linkage Design, is a Blender add-on built around quick-access marking menus that activate directly in the viewport. Marking menus offer an efficient way to reach frequently used tools while minimizing the need to navigate through extensive menus.

It ships with three separate menus: Object Mode 1, Object Mode 2, and Edit Mode. Each opens in the viewport through a hotkey combination, with Object Mode 1 and Edit Mode mapped to Shift + Ctrl + Left mouse button and Object Mode 2 to Shift + Ctrl + Right mouse button.
