For Blender builtin configurations the option to choose the select mouse remains
and is now also in the splash screen. It works by changing the keymap dynamically
in the script, rather than using special events.
The system of automatic switching of events was not flexible enough to deal with
side effects that require further keymap changes, so it is now under more manual
control in the script.
This breaks compatibility for some scripts and exported key configurations.
These can be fixed by replacing SELECTMOUSE, ACTIONMOUSE, EVT_TWEAK_S and
EVT_TWEAK_A with appropriate LEFTMOUSE, RIGHTMOUSE, EVT_TWEAK_L and
EVT_TWEAK_R events.
Other than that, there should be no functional changes.
This should be purely an implementation change,
for end users there should be no functional difference.
The entire key configuration is in one file with ~5000 lines of code.
Mostly avoiding code duplication and preserve comments and utility
functions from the C code.
It's a bit long but for searching and editing it's also convenient to
have it all in one file.
Notes:
- Actual keymap is shared by blender / blender_legacy
and stored in `keymap_data/blender_default.py`
This only generates JSON-like data to be passed into
`keyconfig_import_from_data`, allowing other presets to load and
manipulate the default keymap.
- Each preset defines 'keyconfig_data'
which can be shared between presets.
- Some of the utility functions for generating keymap items still
need to be ported over to Python.
- Some keymap items can be made into loops (marked as TODO).

* Proportional pie menu at shift+O.
* Snap pie menu at shift+S.
* Pivot pie menu at comma. Previous comma, ctrl+comma, period
and ctrl+period shortcuts for specific pivot types were removed.
Ref T56881.
Add tool options to control how select operates (add/sub/set/and/xor).
Note: edit mode armature select still needs to support all options,
this is complicated by how it handles partial end-point selection.

When WITH_INPUT_NDOF is disabled, 3D mouse handling code is removed
from:
- GHOST (was mostly done, finished the job)
- window manager
- various editors
- RNA
- keymaps
The input tab of user prefs does not show 3D mouse settings. Key map
editor does not show NDOF mappings.
DNA does not change.
On my Mac the compiled binary is 42KB smaller after this change. It
runs fine WITH_INPUT_NDOF on or off.
Now, when creating new keyframes in the graph editor by ctrl-clicking, only
the newly created keyframes will be selected. This is a little workflow tweak
to make it faster to work, as you no longer have to deselect all, and then
re-select the newly added keys in order to manipulate them.
The old behaviour (not modifying the selection status of the old keys) has been
kept, but is now available via Shift-Ctrl-Click.
Feature request from @Shhlife
This was a feature request from a few years back (IIRC from ZanQdo?) to make it
easier to reuse one set of driver variables across several different drivers.
Dev Notes:
* Finally it's done! All that trouble for two little buttons.
* Grr... cmake... grrr!
When working is the Graph Editor it can be very important to be able to work with fractions
(sub integers), especially when working with Drivers. Currently the "Cursor Y" is hooked up
to "cursor_position_y" which allows fractions but "Cursor X" is directly hooked up to
"frame_current" which is an integer.
This commit adds initial support for this feature.
* When in Drivers mode, the x-part of the cursor is mapped to a new "cursor_position_x"
value which can have fractional values. Animation mode however remains mapped to frame_current
* This commit only adds the UI/property/drawing tweaks needed to support this.
Many operators still need to be modified to consider this value instead of the
current frame, for this to be more useful.
Sometimes the timeline header didn't update after time-scrubbing in the graph
editor ends, leaving the "Pause" button visible until the next refresh of the
timeline (e.g. on mouse over)
Our current keymap doesn't give us enough room to make such changes in
the event system. To fix small issues caused by this, we would need to do
drastic changes in Blender's keymaps and internal handling. It was worth
a try, but it didn't work.
I can write down a more descriptive statement in a few days, but for now
I need a break of this stuff.
Design task: T42339
Differential Revision: D840
Initial implementation proposal: T41867
Short description:
With this we can distinguish between holding and tabbing a key. Useful
is this if we want to assign to operators to a single shortcut. If two
operators are assigned to one shortcut, we call this a sticky key.
More info is accessible through the design task and the diff.
A few people that were involved with this:
* Sean Olson for stressing me with this burden ;) - It is his enthusiasm
that pushed me forward to get this done
* Campbell and Antony for the code and design review
* Ton for the design review
* All the other people that gave feedback on the patch and helped to
make this possible
A big "Thank You" for you all!
This works by using the distance in the x axis only (usually artists want to influence nearby
keyframes based on timing, not value). Tweaking handles is the same as tweaking
the central handle. It's a bit ambiguous if proportional editing is really meaningful
for handles but will leave that for artists to decide.
and graph editor.
This was a tricky commit that was not so straightforward to make work.
The information for bones is not easy to come by in the animation curves,
however we do have some string manipulation tricks to make it happen.
Testing in gooseberry worked for the rigs there, commiting to master now
