Yesterday I found a Blender 2.78 script online (from MeshLogic) that provides something that I’ve wanted for a long time inside Blender. The script did not work cleanly in Blender 5.2 so I launched into some R&D with Claude and came up with something that works pretty well.
Before Blender, I was a longtime 3dsMax user and one of its default keys is F3 which let you toggle the wireframe view on and off as needed. I used this all the time while polymodeling and never got used to Blender’s Viewport Overlays > Wireframe toggle.
My addon is a single .py file and by default it uses the “\” key to toggle wireframe for a selected object. But you can also use Shift + \ for selected objects. And CTRL + \ if you want to toggle ALL visible objects. It’s very lightweight and simple…no UI or other complications, just a keystroke to toggle your wireframe view on and off. I haven’t found a version of this which works so I’m hoping I’m not duplicating a similar script from someone else.
