Saq, I love the solution so far, however I have a range of editor Toolbar buttons, I use for insert rather than act on a selection, so I need some way to open the toolbar at a cursor only.
I would be happy if I could still use and select what appears in the standard toolbar. I like your minimalist approach but we need to use both if possible. Further I have a fix I can't find the doco for that. (primarily css and the Z value). It makes the existing editorToolbar remain at the top of the visible window when you scroll down long tiddlers, so its always in view until you scroll away from a tiddler in edit mode. A hybrid would be ideal, with any thing in the popup not showing in the standard toolbar.
