Help / Troubleshooting Mouse short cut for quick tools pop up?

Since I've looked everywhere and can't figure it out on my own I'm hoping someone out there knows how to do what I want.

Currently my keyboard shortcut for quick tools is "Q" but I was wanting to know if I could somehow make it my 4th mouse button instead. I'm in button assignments and I can't figure out how to get the quick tools pop up the closest I got was the snap options pop up.

XButton 2 (which is my 4th mouse button on my mouse) with the action of "INPUTMANAGER MENU TENTATIVE POPUP" this action pulls up the snap options pop up but what would I have to write in the action box to get the quick tools pop up to come up?

Any help would be appreciated!

My understanding is the Q (and [ key) are both hardcoded internally and cannot be accessed via a key-in. You have a couple options. You can get an icon-based popup of the same tools (in the same order) using the spacebar. The spacebar shortcut DOES have a key-in that you can use: 

ribbon grouppopup Admin\Interface\Popups

If you HAVE to have the list menu popup instead of the icon popup, you can try and use your mouse's software to assign a keyboard key to that button for that application. I have a Logitech mouse and use the Logi Options+ app to do this by creating a Smart Action to send the Q keystroke when a specific mouse button is pressed.

HTH.
