The first one works fine, I’ll try the second one later on as I have never used modal operators so far and need to practice a bit first.
Thank you!
is it possible to tell if the selection is for vertex or edge in mesh mode?
for example, with the same short cut key, I may want to slide a vert in “vert mode” or slide edge in “edge mode”.
When I click on the ‘Wire’ item in the Display as dropdown while holding Alt, it applies to multiple objects at once, could you show me how to translate that to a command? I assume a ‘for’ loop would be the way, but I’ve no idea how to do it. Thank you, @roaoao
bpy.context.object.display_type = ‘WIRE’
Yes, check C.tool_settings.mesh_select_mode value:
- Vert mode:
C.tool_settings.mesh_select_mode[0] == True - Edge mode:
C.tool_settings.mesh_select_mode[1] == True - Face mode:
C.tool_settings.mesh_select_mode[2] == True
Try this code in Command tab:
bpy.ops.transform.vert_slide('INVOKE_DEFAULT', True) if C.tool_settings.mesh_select_mode[0] else bpy.ops.transform.edge_slide('INVOKE_DEFAULT', True)

Yes, you can check E.alt == True value in Command tab:
setattr(C.object, "display_type", 'WIRE') if E.alt == False else [setattr(obj, "display_type", 'WIRE') for obj in C.selected_objects]

I want to scale while slide edge
Is there any way to run Edge Slide and Scale at the same time = Modal Operator ?

wow. Can you share that pie menu?
Hi,
I can’t found anymore how I did that from the past but how I can restore the cursor (initial) position after this macro has finish ?
Hey man, I came to this group to learn and find out how to make a pie for materials and preview. Can you share your pies ? They look good.
Basically I wanted to create a materials pie, something like this But had no success.
Add these 2 slots:
First slot:
x, y = E.mouse_x, E.mouse_y
Last slot:
C.window.cursor_warp(x, y)

Thanks for this tip but I was talking about the 3D Cursor location. I tried to find by myself but it doesn’t work, I would like to get the 3D cursor location in the first slot then restore it in the last slot ?
First slot:
loc = C.scene.cursor.location.to_tuple()
Last slot:
C.scene.cursor.location = loc

It works like a charm! Thanks
Can you add a way to arrange/ move the menus like the menu items?
So I have this Regular Menu called “Menus” which is put inside the Topbar_MT_editor_menus.
When I change the name to “Menu”, a Regular menu in the VIEW3D_MT_editor_menus got changed to the “Menu” one too. And when I save the prefs & restart blender, PME just breaks. Nothing works anymore, pies, stack keys, etc, panels, buttons disappear, except the hidden panel groups.
Hi Anphung, I don’t know for your problem but can you explain how do you get a viewport left panel ?
I tried few times to add a pme panel on the left side but it didn’t work
I used Panel Group. I’m not at my computer rn so I can’t show you the settings, but they are pretty simple. Create a panel group, set it to 3d view, choose Tools, any context, delete the ‘My Category’ text (empty the field). Add blender panels or pme popup dialogs.
I also hide the default 3d view tools panel & put it in a Panel group I can toggle on off.

Oh nice it works that was because of (empty the field) 
thanks
You can move menus when tree view is off. Tree view sorts menus automatically but you can group menus by tag:
