A simple Blender addon that adds a pie menu across editors for faster, left-hand access to common actions.
- This add-on replaces Blender's Quick Favorites hotkey with an easily accessible pie menu.
- The default entries target actions whose default hotkeys are awkward to hit with the left hand while the right hand stays on the mouse (e.g., Ctrl-P, O, Insert Keyframe).
- In the Settings of the add-on, you can edit each of the 8 slices with either Label, Operator (
category.operator), or optional Icon to add your own custom entry to the Pie Menu.
- Blender 4.5+
- Go to Edit → Preferences → Add-ons
- In the top-right corner, click the small drop-down arrow 🔽
- Select
Install from Disk... - Find and select the downloaded .py file
QT-Pie_v*.py(latest release here) - The addon will be enabled with an icon ✅ next to it
Once installed, press the hotkey Q to open the pie menu.
