One-handed functionality feature request #4

Closed rexelbartolome closed 2 years ago

A feature much like in Blender's pie menus where they don't necessarily need a mouse to still work, it can still be accessed through another keyboard shortcut such as the number row.

Blender's is a bit unintuitive though, since the numbers are inconsistent with their placement on the pie. Maybe we can set it to a more consistent one and hopefully something that's still reachable by the left hand side of the keyboard like 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 can be the first four functions then the next four functions would be Q, W, E, R. Maybe that would be the default but it could still be customizable so it could also cater to left handed people.

While I draw with my right hand then use shortcuts on the keyboard with the left, my girlfriend is left-handed and she uses her right hand for the keyboard (resting on the right-hand side as well), so naturally she's having trouble getting used to the right-handed-people bias of some of the default shortcut keys. So I customized an Autohotpie for her with some pretty basic functions to help with that and I hope if this feature gets added, I can also customize 1234 QWER keys for her as well šŸ˜Š

Ooo yup that has to be in here. User-assignable slice shortcut keys will be added to the new version with the Settings UI as this requires a lot of re-writing. I'll post back here when this is up.

Left-handed here too, totally get the struggle.

Glad to hear! And looking forward to it šŸ˜Š

User-assignable slice hotkeys have been added to the v1.0.3-alpha pre-release: https://github.com/dumbeau/AutoHotPie/releases

Slice hotkeys also include a visual hint and slice hotkeys can be chained by using submenus. Any feedback is welcome. image
