i am making a custom tool, i would like to have different behaviour if i use the tool holding Alt, Ctrl, Shift.... in the templates there is an Half/example in the UItool simple. But i cant make it work in my own script.

bl_keymap = (  ("view3d.select_circle", {"type": 'LEFTMOUSE', "value": 'PRESS'},
                   {"properties": [("wait_for_input", False)]}),
               ("view3d.select_circle", {"type": 'LEFTMOUSE', "value": 'PRESS', "ctrl": True},
                   {"properties": [("mode", 'SUB'), ("wait_for_input", False)]}),
    )

These lines keymap the tool 2 times, to the same "operator", But setting the properties: Wait_for_input and mode. So if i understand correctly i can add a property to my operator to choose if create cubes or sphere . and i should be able to set this property from here.

What i am messing around ?

Here the full script, You need to run it you have to add a cube in the scene and 2 circle named GRABBER and GRABBER2 the tool will move the GRABBER to the nearest vertex under mouse.

Sorry for long script, I think that the wrong part is the ( * Tool ) or the ( * modal operator ) The result i get now is a empty string for my_mode and a 0 for my_mode2 both are two property i added in the operator, if i inizialize them in the invoke, i can get a result. (commented now) but i never get the 1 and B i am calling with the tool.

Thanks for your time

Basically , my log sayd me that there is already a "custom tool already exist ", So running the script was updating all the operators and panel but not the tool, and maybe some more things.

UnRegistering the tool or Reloading the the file have solved the issue…

Here an example of custom tool that keymap the mouse_left with alt shift ctrl and oskey and a combo of 2 (oskey + alt) to set a property string , inside the operator. To do different action/ operations based on these input.

remember to load the module for the property you need from bpy.props import (StringProperty…

class CustomTool(WorkSpaceTool):  
    bl_space_type = 'VIEW_3D'
    bl_context_mode = 'OBJECT'
    bl_idname = "grabber.mycustom_tool"
    bl_label = "  TOOL NAME "
    bl_description = ("  your  tool ")
    bl_icon =  "ops.gpencil.draw.poly"          
    bl_widget = None 
    bl_keymap = (
        ("wm.your_operator_name", {"type": 'LEFTMOUSE', "value": 'PRESS'},
         {"properties": [("my_mode", "DEFAULT" )]}),
        ("wm.your_operator_name", {"type": 'LEFTMOUSE', "value": 'PRESS', "ctrl": True},
         {"properties": [("my_mode", "CONTROL")]}),
        ("wm.your_operator_name", {"type": 'LEFTMOUSE', "value": 'PRESS', "alt": True},
         {"properties": [("my_mode", "ALT")]}),
        ("wm.your_operator_name", {"type": 'LEFTMOUSE', "value": 'PRESS', "shift": True},
         {"properties": [("my_mode", "SHIFT")]}),
        ("wm.your_operator_name", {"type": 'LEFTMOUSE', "value": 'PRESS', "oskey": True},
         {"properties": [("my_mode", "OSKEY")]}),
        ("wm.your_operator_name", {"type": 'LEFTMOUSE', "value": 'PRESS', "oskey" : True , "alt": True},
         {"properties": [("my_mode", "OS+ALT")]}),         
    )


class CUSTOM_OPERATOR(bpy.types.Operator):
    bl_idname = "wm.your_operator_name"
    bl_label = "test operator"
    
    my_mode: bpy.props.StringProperty(name="MODES_STRING")

    def invoke....... continue with your operator
