MagellanStartup.mel User Marking Menus?

[LeeG]

I am re-writing the MagellanStartup.mel file to make the spaceNavigator more Maya friendly and I noticed that there is a MagellanButtonEvent procedure that has a line that looks like:

if(`runTimeCommand -q -cat $g3DxCurrentButtonAssignment[$button-1]` == "User Marking Menus")
CreateMarkingMenu($g3DxCurrentButtonAssignment[$button-1]);


What is "User Marking Menus"?
I don't find that as a maya string or command. and it then creates a maya popupMenu. Is this a popupMenu that I can choose items with the SpaceNavigator?

What is "User Marking Menus"?

User Marking Menus are a category of commands that Maya associates a Marking Menu created by the user to. You will find Marking Menus described in the Maya documentation.

I am very familiar with Marking menus, my questions is how do you use marking menus with the SpaceNavigator? How do you set a button to have a value of "User Marking Menus" and then how can the SpaceNavigator activate and select the popup menus in Maya? (without using another 2d Mouse)

Thanks for your reply.
