Adding Chords from Info Panel

Create chord mappings from Blender's operator history.

Info Panel

Workflow

Step 1: Perform Actions

Execute operators or change properties. Each action appears in the Info panel:

Operators:

bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cube_add()
bpy.ops.object.shade_smooth()
bpy.ops.transform.translate(value=(1, 0, 0))

Properties:

bpy.context.scene.cycles.use_denoising = True
bpy.context.space_data.overlay.show_wireframes = False

Step 2: Select Text in Info Panel

  1. Select one or more lines in the Info panel.
  2. Right-click and choose "Add Chord Mapping".

Add Chord Info Panel

Step 3: Configure the Mapping

  • Enter Chord: The sequence of keys that will trigger the mapping.
  • Editor Context: Context in which the mapping will be active.
  • Label: Chord name.
  • Group: Chord group.
  • Parameters: Operator parameters.

Enter your chord sequence and adjust settings as needed.

Batch Creation

Selecting multiple lines extracts all operators or properties. The first becomes the primary mapping; others are stored as sub-items. If a mix of operators and properties is detected, whichever type is detected first will filter out the other type, i.e. if the first line is an operator, the properties/toggles will be ignored and vice versa.
