Shortcut for changing snap settings.

Support Basics & Interface
1

Hi Blender community,

in 2.56, I had a shortcut to change between vertex snap and increment snap.

In 2.6+, this custom shortcut stopped working.

What should I write in order to have that useful shortcut back?

Thank you.

The default shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+Tab

3D View . 3D View (Global)
wm.context_menu_enum
tool_settings.snap_element

Thanks, that’ll help, but I was wondering how to set the shortcut to directly change between one snap setting to the other without taking time on the menu (like it used to be on blender 2.5).

Thanks you

What did you have in 2.56 that worked

Left Arrow - Set Snap Settings to Increment
Right Arrow - Set Snap Settings To Vertex

Set up theses shortcuts under “3D View (Global)”:

Hi,
I tried to set my shortcuts as indicated but it doesn’t seem to work on 2.8.
The context seems to be different from “tool_settings.snap_element” to “tool_settings.snap_elements” but even like that, nothing happens.

I also tried the same thing, and it did not work. Any else had luck with this?

I too would love a quicker way than having to press Shift+Ctrl+Tab everytime to change between Increment and Vertex type snapping. Anyone know how to do this yet?

The best way I found was to buy Pie menu editor. It allowed me to easily create some snapping presets. I use this pie menu for a few months and I find it very efficient.

I used a free addon called snapset for a while. It was quite good.
