Hi,

I’m not expert :no: . . . but, may be !!!
At home it’s OK . . .

** ==> Do not forget register Class
** ==> Add bl_idname

import bpy


class VIEW3D_POPUP_hello_world(bpy.types.Menu):
    
 bl_idname = "hello_world"
 bl_label = "Hello World popup window test"
 def draw(self, context):
  layout = self.layout
  layout.operator_context = "INVOKE_REGION_WIN"

def register():
 bpy.utils.register_class(VIEW3D_POPUP_hello_world) ## ==&gt; Register Class


 #km = bpy.context.window_manager.keyconfigs.default.keymaps['3D View']
 #kmi = km.items.new ('wm.call_menu', 'J', 'PRESS')
 #kmi.properties.name = "VIEW3D_POPUP_hello_world"
 
 wm = bpy.context.window_manager
 km = wm.keyconfigs.addon.keymaps.new(name='3D View', space_type='VIEW_3D')
 kmi = km.keymap_items.new('wm.call_menu', 'J', 'PRESS')
 kmi.properties.name = "hello_world"


def unregister():
 bpy.utils.register_class(VIEW3D_POPUP_hello_world)

if __name__ == "__main__":
 register()

working well
will use that in a special addon I’m working on

is there more examples to show how to work with more complex short cut keys
like Ctrl Alt J or else

or work with the special function keys or the keypad’s keys?

can this work with another menu like

bpy.types.INFO_MT_mesh_add.append(menu_func) ?

that menu seems to continue to work but the other one with short key does not seems
to call the function !

thanks for feedback

Take your code application and make a search with “keymaps” word and choose the addons folder as target and you will obtain all addons with shortcuts…

or work with the special function keys or the keypad’s keys?

idem or
You can analyze my addon: EZ_PAINT

can this work with another menu like

bpy.types.INFO_MT_mesh_add.append(menu_func) ?

YES search this “Kjartans Scripts” add-on:
http://www.kjartantysdal.com/scripts/

that menu seems to continue to work but the other one with shortkey does not seems
to call the function !

? explain what you mean, Friend! :rolleyes:

will look at the references given this night
and be back if not done

have you heard of a bug with Bmesh and class while doing a loop
when I try to extend edge on the second time it gives error that Bm is not there!

like it cannot re create a new version of BM on second loop

thanks for feedback

No, I’m not aware of it!

pop up window might not be the best example!

my main menu is as follow



class INFO_MT_mesh_edgesquare1_add(bpy.types.Menu):
 # Define the "Edge Square" menu
 bl_idname = "INFO_MT_mesh_edgesquare1_add"
 bl_label = "Edges Square"
 
 
 def draw(self, context):
 
  layout = self.layout
  layout.operator_context = 'INVOKE_REGION_WIN'
 
 
 
  layout.operator("mesh.primitive_edgesquare1_add",
   text="edges square1")

that is working fine

but would like to add another method to call the same class operator but with a short key
like Ctrl- J or J key if possible

I think there is a way to add it but not certain how

note: uploaded file of you need to see the WIP script
it is a very simple an short extend edge with bmesh script operator with a bug while looping !

need that to do equal width line in top / front view for CAD drawings !

you select and edge and it will measure L
then extend it same amount to get a simple square
but when I tried to do it twice and crashes
BM seems to be gone in the class!

thanks man

found this example but still not right



 
def register():
 
 wm = bpy.context.window_manager
 
 
 bpy.types.INFO_MT_mesh_add.append(menu_func)
 
 
 km = wm.keyconfigs.addon.keymaps.new(name='Window', space_type='EMPTY' ,region_type='WINDOW')
 kmi = km.keymap_items.new(edgesquare1.bl_idname, 'F1', 'PRESS', oskey=True)
 addon_keymaps.append(km)
 bpy.utils.register_module(__name__)

not certain if this call with F1 key !

will test further

thanks

this one seems to be working


 
def register():
 
 wm = bpy.context.window_manager
 
 
 bpy.types.INFO_MT_mesh_add.append(menu_func)
 
 

 
 # handle the keymap
 
 wm = bpy.context.window_manager

 km = wm.keyconfigs.addon.keymaps.new(name='3D View', space_type="VIEW_3D")
 kmi = km.keymap_items.new( edgesquare1.bl_idname , 'NUMPAD_0', 'PRESS', ctrl=False, shift=False)
 addon_keymaps.append(km)
 
 bpy.utils.register_module(__name__)

got to see if I can try other keys on keyboard!

still having this bug with second time I do the class!

thanks

def register():    wm = bpy.context.window_manager
    
    bpy.types.INFO_MT_mesh_add.append(menu_func)
 
 


 
   # handle the keymap
 
   wm = bpy.context.window_manager


   km = wm.keyconfigs.addon.keymaps.new(name='3D View', space_type="VIEW_3D")
   kmi = km.keymap_items.new( edgesquare1.bl_idname , 'NUMPAD_0', 'PRESS', ctrl=False, shift=False)
   addon_keymaps.append(km)
 
   bpy.utils.register_module(__name__)

Corrected code:

addon_keymaps = []
def register():
    bpy.utils.register_module(__name__)
    bpy.types.INFO_MT_mesh_add.append(menu_func)
    
    # handle the keymap
    wm = bpy.context.window_manager


    km = wm.keyconfigs.addon.keymaps.new(name='3D View', space_type="VIEW_3D")
    kmi = km.keymap_items.new( edgesquare1.bl_idname , 'NUMPAD_0', 'PRESS', ctrl=False, shift=False)
    addon_keymaps.append(km)

Sorry bu I’m very busy, I can’t help you more… :no:
