Are you after one of these, e.g. rotate? >>> C.window_manager.keyconfigs.user.keymaps['Transform Modal Map'].keymap_items[5].propvalue 'ROTATE' I'm pretty sure there's only one modal map for all transform operators (and not changable with python). import bpy wm = bpy.context.window_manager keymap = [k for k in wm.keyconfigs.user.keymaps['Transform Modal Map'].keymap_items if k.type == 'G'] #k.propvalue=="TRANSLATE"] modal_translate = keymap[0] if len(keymap) > 0 else None print("\n", modal_translate) for attr in dir(modal_translate): if not attr.startswith("_"): val = getattr(modal_translate, attr) if type(val) in {int, float, str, bool}: print("\t", attr, "=", val) But note that you can't provide an operator name in modal maps. Only the predefined modal operations can be set (`propvalue`).
