2.8 Default Keymap

I’d totally love it if they do. :slight_smile: But the extent of the official pie menus has mostly been only to enable/disable in the add-ons menu and to change hotkeys in the input settings. There was talk about it for 2.8 a while back, but I’m not sure if the Devs are still considering it.

But honestly, we could really use a more streamlined & modern Hotkey/Pie Menu Editor for 2.8 and beyond. Trying to change the functionality of a single key’s function across everywhere it’s mapped in Blender is such a chore atm. And if you don’t know what you’re doing, you can seriously mess it up.

And the fact that maybe the Keymap is embedded into a part inside the userpref.blend or some obscure script file inside the Blender directory makes it hard to just open up in script editor and just do mass ‘Find & Replace’ with. I’m sure the Devs have easier ways of doing it, but for the common end-users? :roll_eyes:

A more explicit method would be to use something like Wazou’s Pie Menu and edit the python code in it to add your own commands. Reason I say this is,

  1. It’s free.
  2. Doesn’t screw with the official Pie Menu file.
  3. Just looking through the code and tinkering you’ll quickly get the gist of how these pie menus work and you can easily start customizing.

I’d totally love something like the A+ Pie Menu Editor by Roaoao, or at least a basic/similar version of it come with Blender 2.8 by Default. Here’s Hoping. :crossed_fingers:
