How disable delete options menu in Blender 2.8?

Question

Hi, how can i disable the delete menu that appear when delete a element?, is really annoying because if i am working in face mode then i will be like delete faces and this menu is complety unnecessary, thanks.

Answer 1

There is an option for this in Blender 2.80.

Open "User Preferences" then go to "Keymap" and search for "Delete" and go down to Object Mode -> Delete (object.delete) click the dropdown arrow and check/uncheck 'Confirm'

You can also get there by "Keymap -> 3D View -> Object Mode -> Object Mode (Global) -> "Delete (object.delete)" and check/uncheck confirm

Answer 2

right click on the Faces and assign a shortcut.

all the options in the delete menu are not at all unnecessary, as you may/can work with more than one type of selection concatenated together, thus having a special menu for every single combination is just not worth it.

Answer 3

as I understand the point of where the need is coming I would like to provide an other solution. but just to be clear I do think that the default behavior of Blender is more consistent.

bl_info = {
    "name": "Regular delete ",
    "author": "Virgil Sisoe",
    "version": (1, 0),
    "blender": (2, 80, 0),
    "location": "",
    "description": "delete in context",
    "warning": "",
    "wiki_url": "",
    "category": "",
}
import bpy


def main(context):
    for ob in context.scene.objects:
        print(ob)


class SimpleOperator(bpy.types.Operator):
    """Tooltip"""
    bl_idname = "object.delete_regular"
    bl_label = "Simple Object Operator"

    @classmethod
    def poll(cls, context):
        return context.active_object is not None

    def execute(self, context):
        """Check which mode the active object is and then delete.

        selection_mode is a list of the type of selection you are currently in 
        # 0 = VERT
        # 1 = EDGE
        # 3 = FACE
        """
        main(context)
        if bpy.context.object.mode == 'OBJECT':
            bpy.ops.object.delete(use_global=False)
        elif bpy.context.object.mode == 'EDIT': 
            selection_mode = [i for i in tuple(bpy.context.scene.tool_settings.mesh_select_mode)]
            if selection_mode[0] == True: 
                bpy.ops.mesh.delete(type='VERT')
            elif selection_mode[1] == True:
                bpy.ops.mesh.delete(type='EDGE')
            elif selection_mode[2] == True:
                bpy.ops.mesh.delete(type='FACE')
        return {'FINISHED'}


def register():
    bpy.utils.register_class(SimpleOperator)


def unregister():
    bpy.utils.unregister_class(SimpleOperator)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    register()

    # test call
    bpy.ops.object.delete_regular()

by no mean I am a Python expert so if some one would like to add something please be my guest. The scripts DELETES stuff not DISSOLVE as I understood that was the need.

To use this script as Shortcut you need to install it like a regular Addon

once you activated and Save user settings go into the Input tab to add two new entry, one in the 3d View Object Mode and one in the 3D View Mesh (the script does delete in object mode without confirmation, like 3Ds Max, but if that is not what you want just don't add the shortcut there)

once inside just click the + Add new tab and write the name of the operator in this case object.delete_regular and create your own custom shortcut.

Answer 4

I can't Vote on anything but the script by Virgil Sisoe still works in Blender 3.1. To be able to activate it as an add-on, I had to save it as _int_.py that I put in a folder named "Simple Delete" like a typical addon But then it worked just fine.

Also setting it to delete is non-destructive. The same context menu is still available by pressing "X". Further proving it is redundant. This should be the default behavior in Blender. The extra options are nice but could exist just fine in the right-click menu.

I'd package this as a free add-on, but it is not my code, and I am not a thief. Thanks to Virgil Sisoe for this bit.
