I'm fiddling around with an add-on to set Vertice Axis, and the add-on seems to work.

The addon creates a button in Tool Panel, and a menu entry in Mesh-Vertices.

The Problem is the missing 'add shortcut' entry in the right-click-menu.

I have tried for days to figure it out. If I add the entry manually in the shortcut menu with the rna 'mesh.move_verts_axis' it works.

the missing shortcut entry

  • $\begingroup$ i think you need to register all your ops bl_idname as mesh.something and not op.something , it's the custom op. path messing things up (which arguably it shouldn't ). $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ thks, after change code "bl_idname = "op.adjust_verts" to "bl_idname = "mesh.adjust_verts" it works in Menu and Button. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I think this is hardcoded in Blender, it could be reported to the bugtracker as a bug. I don't know of ways around it so can't offer a better solution. $\endgroup$

Unless someone knows a way around this, this seems to be the answer:

Although it's convenient to use a new namespace for the operators of your addon, this does seem to break the Add Shortcut feature. Which seems to be hardcoded to include only existing namespaces like mesh.some_operator_name or object.some_operator_name.

These will work:

# bpy.ops.mesh   
bl_idname = "mesh.some_operator_name"

# bpy.ops.object
bl_idname = "object.some_operator_name"

this will work functionally, but won't it show the Add Shortcut menu item

bl_idname = "op.some_operator_name"
