I am trying to set up V-Key as shortcut. But it is ignored in Vertex Paint Mode.

In Object Mode, I hover over Vertex Paint, right-click and add shortcut. Great! I hit V-key, switches to Vertex Paint mode.

Now I hover over Object Mode, right-click and add shortcut. Since I am trying to toggle states, I use same: V-Key

But, it does not switch back to Object Mode.

It seems that shortcuts are global, not bound to current view state.

So, can I make V-key a toggle between view modes?

It occurred to me I was trying to mimic the Tab-Key. So I looked that up in the Keymap. Then just did the same thing, but for Vertex Painting instead of Editing.

Preferences > Keymap > 3D View > Object Non-modal > Add New

  • Set object.mode_set
  • Assign V-Key binding
  • Then select option to make it a toggle.

Note: In Vertex Paint mode, V is already bound to 'Vertex Section' mask. I removed the default V-key shortcut from Keymap > 3D View > Vertex Paint.
