I'm different

Yeah, I'm weird like that.

Actually, often the downside of toolbars at mouse cursor is that they tend to hide the exact thing you're working at. Mainly on envelope lanes and MIDI CC lanes, whereever vertical space is narrow I more often than not first have to move the toolbar out of the way (which is easy, because the cursor is conveniently placed to do so, but still a bit annoying). I made it a habbit to try to hover at the lowest possible spot of the context because of that.

Would it be possible to make the toolbar spawn some amount of pixels (say, 30px) below the mouse? Well, or above, if it wouldn't fit onto the monitor below the mouse. To hit a button we most likely have to move the mouse a bit anyway.

If not, never mind
