[feature request] escape radius, escape shortcut #34

Closed vfxturjo closed 2 years ago

suppose:

then following feature can help:

    • [toggle switch on/off] turn on escape radius
    • [dropdown list] if escape radius is crossed:
    • pie menu will go away (won't be visible and won't be functional, full escape),
    • pie menu will still be visible but wont function anything (so you can come back to safe working radius)
    • escape shortcut key: a shortcut key that can be pressed to escape from the pie menu. such as Esc button, Mouse Rbutton etc (modifiable, can be multiple, can be global)

Now, a ques can arise: what is wrong with coming back to the pie center to cancel the operation? Ans: when I use mouse button 4 and 5 for pie menus, I assign the pie center as regular mouse button 4 and 5 respectively. So, without any escaping way, I end up triggering an action. :(

Jeez I appreciate your descriptive posts here. I remember you asking for this before, I forgot to add it. I'll add both of these, a user-defined escape radius, and a global option to allow 'Escape' to cancel pie menus.
