Settings and More (Alt+F) Surface Pen

I can use my mouse to open the ··· settings menu but when I press the on-screen button with my Surface Pen it doesn't activate. The account and feedback buttons both work as expected.

I have found a workaround to allow me to access my favorites and most other items that one would access regularly through that 3-dot menu.

 

I installed a plug-in from the Chrome store called Quick Bookmarks Menu. Right-click or long-press on the icon in the toolbar to set it up. 

I set the following:

1. Open Bookmarks in: New Tab (Other options are "current tab" and "background.)

2. Folder Hover Enter: Off (can be set from slow to fast, which is for opening the folders for hovering with the mouse. For pen or touch, it should be off.)

 

Once that's done, set up the following bookmarks in a new bookmarks folder called "Edge Menu Items."

 

I added the following bookmarks:

edge://settings

edge://favorites

edge://downloads

edge://history

edge://extensions

edge://apps

edge://settings/help (About Microsoft Edge)

 

The last one helps me make sure I'm on the latest build. This has made Edge Canary usable for me. Hope it helps someone else.
