> 2 clicks is not really that much work, but this is a good opportunity for a general explanation that documents how to work with composer buttons with a focus on what you’re trying to do. Adding buttons to the toolbar is done with a different pluginAPI method. The toolbar uses this method [plugin-api.js.es6#L375-L391](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/lib/plugin-api.js.es6#L375-L391) while the popup menu uses this one [plugin-api.js.es6#L396-L411](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/lib/plugin-api.js.es6#L396-L411) The canned replies plugin uses the pop-up menu method like so [https://github.com/discourse/discourse-canned-replies/…](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-canned-replies/blob/master/assets/javascripts/initializers/add-canned-replies-ui-builder.js.es6#L18-L25)
