I wanna ask you if someone want to consider to write an addon that I have in mind from some time. It’s intended to speed up the workflow when we have to switch between object / edit / pose mode and from the mesh to the armature and viceversa. So,I thought to a new combination of buttons that we can press when we need to do that. I know that there is the pie menu,but I don’t use it so much,because I don’t want to leave the mouse buttons when I need to change the interaction mode. So,I created this scheme,please consider it and try it,tell me if you could work faster with it not…
-
from (mesh,object) to (mesh,edit) using 2 fast clicks with the right mouse button over the mesh
-
from (mesh,object) to (armature,edit) using 2 fast clicks with the right mouse button over the armature
-
from (mesh,object) to (armature,pose) using 1 click with the third mouse button (or with the mouse wheel) over the armature
-
from (mesh,edit) to (mesh,object) using 2 fast clicks with the left mouse button over the mesh
-
from (mesh,edit) to (armature,object) using 1 click with the right mouse button over the armature
-
from (mesh,edit) to (armature,edit) using 2 fast clicks with the left mouse button over the armature
-
from (mesh,edit) to (armature,pose) using 2 fast clicks with the third mouse button (or with the mouse wheel) over the armature
-
from (armature,obj) to (mesh,edit) using 1 click with the third mouse button (or with the mouse wheel) over the mesh

As you can see,there are 4 combinations of modes that can’t be mapped using a 3 buttons mouse. So,here the idea is to buy a cheap mouse with the 4 or the 5 button. There are a lot of these all around. But then,blender will support the additional buttons ? What do you think ? let me know…
