I'm fairly sure this affects /BIND, /BINDLOAD, and /BINDLOADFILE the same.
While you can't use /bind, /bindload, or /bindloadfile in a /popmenu directly, there is a workaround that I use:
Option "&L Load Binds" "beginchat /bindloadfile C:\Binds\.txt"
Then, all I have to do is press my Left Arrow Key 4 times, so that it's between the \ and the ., type in the name of the bind file I want to load, and press Enter.
This might work:
Option "Turn" "beginchat /bind LEFTARROW +turnleft$$bind RIGHTARROW +turnright"
Option "Maneuver" "beginchat /bind LEFTARROW +left$$bind RIGHTARROW +right"
I've found, however, that having a /popmenu place text into the chat window, it seems you have to press Enter twice. The first press won't do anything. It's weird.

It's just like using the BADGE or AUTHBIT code in a PopMenu. The GUI initiates the call using PopMenu code, the request goes to the server to process whether the BADGE or AUTHBIT is True or False based on character data on the Server, then PopMenu displays the menu based on the resultant data it received from the Server. I'm just theorizing that there's other PopMenu code that requests power information from the server based on the character's power data.

Been having a lot of fun with popmenu creation since I first saw this thread. I've made a few MNUs for inspiration combining. The first menu chooses the inspiration you want to make, and from there you can choose tier 1, 2 or 3, with a 4th option to go back to the first menu. Also, I've made it so that the menu remains when you select 1 through 3 in case you needed more than one tier created. It's a small thing, but saves a lot of trouble.
The order of the main menu is just the one I prefer, but can easily be changed. I don't ever have a need for oranges, so you'd need to make your own MNU for that. Awakens are made at a time you don't have to hurry, so I didn't bother with them either.

The popmenu commands are limited. Is it possible that there are a couple more commands we don't know about? Sure. Can we check for whatever we want? Not a chance.
The problem is that you are seeing all these other windows and thinking they all relate to popmenus, when they are not.
I will send you some information in private to help clarify this point.

Nice work! One idea though, instead of multiple separate menus, you could combine them all into one larger menu with submenus for each color. That may or may not work well with your recursive popmenu commands though depending on how you want them to work.

I'm also going to introduce recursive commands into my toggle menus. Why this didn't occur to me already is a mystery.

I changed the ending PopMenu command to "PopMenu Combine" so that the function recursively executes the menu until you click away from it or hit an invalid character. That seemed to almost preserve what you were trying to do.
I've been using Notepad++ with a custom language definition for .MNU files to create my popmenu files. The code-folding and syntax highlighting really helps keep the Menu, sub Menu and LockedOption sections straight and correct as well as highlighting any spelling errors in PopMenu code and missed quotations.
One of these days I may even try adding all the valid slash commands to my custom .MNU language file... Yeah right!

So, question: can you put more than one popmenu in a single .mnu file?
The syntax would seem to indicate you could combine many different popmenus into a single file, but in reality it may not work that way.

It's been working ever since I started doing PopMenus months ago. I have never, EVER seen any of the control problems you're quoting. I don't think the problem is as simple as "Calling a PopMenu from within another PopMenu causes your controls to stop working". If I had to make a guess, I would say it might only come up when using chained menus with multiple submenus as my Warshade quick-switch menus are all only top-level, no submenus.
Even then, in my early iterations of my BadgeReporter menu which were up to three levels deep, the different categories (Accolades, Exploration, Gladiators, etc.) were all separate menu files and were all called from a completely separate simple top-level PopMenu and I never noticed the problem there either... Maybe if the PopMenu originating the call to a second PopMenu is multi-leveled and the command is in a submenu?
Not so simple.

That's because the /beginchat command requires user input (hit the enter key) before it executes whatever is put on the chat line. Only the first bit before the $$ is there because that's the command separator so the first command ends there but doesn't accept anything else yet since the /beginchat command still has control of the chat line and is still waiting for that user-inputed enter key before anything else can happen. |

Why isn't this supported in game with developer implemented navigation menus to accompany its creation?
Better yet, why haven't I ever heard anyone talk about this before?! This is the single "biggest deal" I've ever heard of. There are third person MODs in other MMOs that basically do exactly what this does, and they were developed by programmers! This just exists!

Unfortunately, and this is my theory on why it's not supported, it's a fairly "dumb" menuing language. There's little visual customizability, only a couple rudimentary logic functions in the PopMenu code and it's also been mentioned a couple times that PopMenu may have the potential to crash the game based on the complexity and depth of the PopMenu code (though I have not experienced this myself) so it's not a great idea for the devs to actively support something that can run rampant crashing your game client if it is created in the wrong way.
I'd love for the devs to step up and take charge up improving and supporting the PopMenu code since it has become an integral and necessary part of my COH game experience. Documenting and improving the capabilities of the menus would be incredible, especially since there's code that I know has to exist for the PopMenu command (in order for it to perform the dynamic things it does in the GUI) that no one has found yet.
Option "Turn" "bind LEFTARROW +turnleft$$bind RIGHTARROW +turnright"
Option "Maneuver" "bind LEFTARROW +left$$bind RIGHTARROW +right"
These work if I make them macros, but with the popmenu the I have to zone after clicking them?
