Instructions

Interface/Menu Overview

• This script switches out the spacebar search menu, with a custom menu.
• It provides quick access to many of the tools found in other menus, but also packs a few features of its own, such as the cursor menu.
• Very similar to the Spacebar menu in 2.49
• Context sensitive for Object. Edit, Sculpt, Pose, Weight/Texture/Vertex Paint.
• Object sensitive based on object selected in edit mode.

You can still use the spacebar to search by pressing outside the 3d view when the script is active, or just press search in the script.

This script was designed to provide a bridge between Blender 2.4x & Blender 2.5x & as a quick getting started tool, where you can browse functions before diving deeper into Blender's great new interface.

Known Issues

• Will not be stay assigned to spacebar in keymap if user settings is saved but a new file is opened (Instead of completely restarting Blender, where it does stay).

Additional Information

---

The search menu is still available:
