Even before adding modal operators to the addon, it is proving quite useful. For now I have the following shortcuts by default
command_string |
Description |
'tb' or 'tt' |
set viewport rotation to Trackball or Turntable |
'cen' |
returns 3d cursor to origin (i find the combo annoying) |
'ico' |
enables and adds the developer's icon display addon |
'wipe' |
removes all meshes and objects in the current scene, this is particularly useful while coding addons that generate geometry |
'vtx' and 'xl' |
enable the mesh_tinyCAD addon if not enabled, and perform the ops VTX and XALL |
'!' |
typing anything and following it with an exclamation mark will copy it (minus !) to the system clipboard. excellent for writing scripts and jumping between a text editor and the bpy console |
'123' |
set keymap 1 2 3 to verts, edges, faces select mode. |
i'll probably add more, candidates are:
- "wipe-(mesh, obj, materials, images)"
- "docs/man" (to open a broswer at the most recent blender API docs)
- "SE:your search term here" (opens browser and searches for term on BlenderStackExchange)
