I was thinking it would be nice to be able to call the Modifier menu as a contextual menu using a keyboard shortcut. However, the drop-down button doesn't have any Python name listed in its Tool Tip. It just says "Add a Modifier to the Active Object".
Is there a Python name and it's just not listed, or can this menu not be brought up contextually? Thanks.
A custom keyboard shortcut can be set up to call object.modifier_add, and that will make the menu appear. I've set mine up in the Object Mode shortcuts section, and am using F for modiFier.
And here's the result:
The Add Modifier menu will conveniently appear at your cursor location within the 3D Viewport.
Not that I can directly answer the question, but I do know that the way I call the menu is from the spacebar search, typing 'add m..' and then I click on 'add modifier' and the menu pops up in screen. The reason it doesn't seem to be able to add a shortcut to it is that it is about context, and the modifier panel only appears in the properties area when you have an object selected that can be given a modifier.
