I agree with sourvinos, after trying the RMB addon, i find it much better than the pie menu .
Maybe it’s just that the official pie menu is too limited in the commands it does , but having easy mouse centric menus popping up when i need and actually context-based is simply better workflow that the current pie.
That said, i’m still working faster and more easier with my shortcut based workflow. But if i had to get into an alternative to the actual UI, the RMB addon is much better than the current official pie addon to me.
Sanctuary,
probably most of the time that you are engaged with a heavy work, shortcuts are faster, though I would not bet; but often, just like now, I do work quite laid back in a armchair, with just a hand on the mouse, and I prefer to go with menus than get up to press a key.
Not much professional you will say, but actually, I learnt to do so by dint of working for whole days on job without stopping. Call it cruising speed.
I don’t think rRMB is an alternative to pies, they complement each other. Pies are better for short sets of options, like ctrl+tab, tab, v (curves), etc. while menus are better for long lists. Imagine the entire specials menu in pies, it’d be a mess.
As for workflow speed, you go kind of slow in the beginning, but then you start to grow a muscle memory of where everything is, and for some things it becomes faster to right-click and select than trying to remember a specific shortcut. It doesn’t replace every key, but it let’s you work without worrying about what key or in which menu was X option.
Most anything you need is in there. Impeccably organized, context sensitive.
Highly recommended for those new to blender, this will help you explore and learn faster.
And then for all those more experienced, any command that is not used often and you don’t have it mapped to a key or PieMenu, this is it! Just a great addition to whatever your workflow is.
right now im studying how to create a nested group and im going to use your script as a guide
it really help newbie like who make customization to blender for more productivity and workflow enhancement

Hi.
Your addon seems very useful, and is kinda what I’m looking for.
So I would like to ask if your addon can do this:
Different menus for the different modeling modes.
See:
There’s a bug when using the Place 3D Cursor command from the menu.
If the click is in the lower portion of the screen space, and the menu has to Shift up to redraw, than the cursor is moved to the second click, the one you click on the actual menu entry “Place 3D Cursor”
Effectively, you can’t use the menu to place the cursor on the lower part of the screen.
I thought about that, but Blender selection modes work differently (as usual : ). Meaning - you can fire commands for one element, with a selection in a different element mode - for instance vertex operators on face selections. So it would be limiting to hide sections according to selection mode.
Yeah, I know. I haven’t found a way to “store” initial RMB click position to use as a reference for placing the cursor.
