Add option to choose/configure PieMenu key

Hi,

Barely scratched the surface of this addon possibilities but one thing stands in the way of further adoption is the use of the Tab key to activate PieMenu :/ This key is an essential one used all the time in all places, all the more to navigate between fields in combo view and cells in spreadsheets, so I think there surely is a better choice to activate PieMenu. An option in preferences to choose the activation key/button combo would be perfect.

Anyway, thank you for this nice contibution I wish a long life of improvements and extensions. I dream of a day using FreeCAD mainly fullscreen with shortcuts and a PieMenu on steroids !

Keep it on

We have discussed this on more occasions in the past on the forum. The situation in this area will for sure improve in the future. You can change the key yourself in the code if you don't want to wait:

actionKey.setShortcut(QtGui.QKeySequence("TAB"))

P.S. Key "Q" will likely be set as default in the future.

Let's go for "Q" so, thanks a lot and keep it on ! 👍

I will likely return to PieMenu development in April.

P.S. Command panel will take another week or two.
