As used already for mesh & curves.
Add confirmation menu for curve & armature,
since this isn't such a common operation and undoing leaves object data
(long term bug/todo to fix).
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!
From the various forum threads and the fact that a new addon has cropped up,
it appears that it is not that well known that this tool exists, and that it
can be used solve a very common problem that animators face. Namely:
When you've gone through blocking out your key poses and then realise
that you need to adjust parts of the rig which don't change much, this
tool solves the problem of needing to go through doing grunt-work to
fix all the other keyframes which now need to change as well.
So, this tool is now available in the following two places (in addition to
the existing Pose -> Propagate menu):
* Toolbar - The "Propagate" button will use the default mode (or the last
used mode for each subsequent invocation).
The arrow-button beside this will allow choosing between the different
modes. (NOTE: The UI team may have different thoughts on this, but,
let's give this a try for a while first, to see if this sort of thing works)
* Alt-P - In Pose Mode, this will now bring up a menu allowing you to choose
which mode is used. Since this sort of thing is something that does
get run several times in a row when you need it, having this hotkey
will make it a bit more convenient.

Duplicate bones where needed, otherwise use existing.
Keeps parent relations intact, can operate on parts of an armature.
Two issues in this report:
* Shift-F key conflict between painting and selecting mirrored bone
(moved select mirrored to ctrl-shift-F)
* It was possible to display texture overlay in weight painting, even
though the mode does not support textures yet.
In fact, armature layers operators (set layers, and show all) were kind of messy and broken
in Edit mode (Select layers had two different operators for Pose and Edit modes, both
using the same funcs that could only work in Pose mode, Show All was supposed to be
used in both modes but again, its exec code could only work in Pose one).
Fixed that by:
* Using only one op for each task, for both modes (with adapted poll func).
* Replacing 'object from context' access by an helper that returns the right Armature
object in both Edit and Pose modes.
When trying to scale bones in EditMode and the bones were drawn using envelope display mode,
this resulted in the joint radii (i.e. the inner part of envelopes) being adjusted instead.
It turns out that this was due to an old hack that was put in place back in 2.4x (see the
tracker logs for full details of the problem here).
This commit introduces the following fixes:
1) Removed the old hack. Scaling (S) works normally now.
2) Ctrl-Alt-S (i.e. "Scale Envelopes/BBones") is as-is.
That is, it is used to adjust the size falloff-region around a bone
(i.e. the "dist" property)
3) Added Alt-S hotkey in EditMode for armatures for adjusting the radii of bones.
This change just means that the "TFM_BONE_ENVELOPE" mode is now able to be
accessed from the UI as a tool on its own right (instead of being accessible
via the old undocumented hack). This tool adjusts the radii of the bone joints,
which define the actual full-influence region of the envelopes.
* Added proper "update" operators in place of the abuse of the calculate
operators, so now the display ranges won't get overwritten everytime (with the
default values) you go to update the paths.
* Display range settings in properties editor now actually work. Before, the "In
Range" mode only displayed the entire paths.
More "Reset ops properties" stuff, in select C keymaps this time.
Also ARMATURE_OT_select_inverse -> ARMATURE_OT_select_all(action='INVERT'). Left the select_inverse op code, though, it’s not using the same algo as INVERT of select_all ???

Confusing local diffs and causing merge conflicts,
Stating the obvious; redundant and useless...

Thanks Torsten Rupp (rupp) for the patch!
This patch adds the abilities to sort the bone group list in the
properties panel and to move bone groups up/down in the list (similar
like for vertex groups)
Toggling options on the selection is better done as a generic operator.
Replace ARMATURE_OT_flags_set and POSE_OT_flags_set with WM_OT_context_collection_boolean_set and use menus to access it with specific settings.
This way its easy make a key shortcut which toggles any boolean on any collection - sequences, metaballs, objects, bones etc.
This tool automates the process of copying a pose to successive
keyframes, making it easier for animators to go back and change the
pose for some controls which remain "static" for periods of time.
Previously, animators would need to do a "{Ctrl-Pageup Ctrl-V} *
number_of_static_keyframes" dance for each set of controls that this
happened on, which is not too good ergonomically speaking.
There are two modes exposed via the menu (Pose->Propagate):
- "Pose Propagate" - also known as the 'WHILE_HELD' mode, which
propagates to all keyframes that are holding the same value
- "To Next Keyframe" - which only propagates the pose to the closest
keyframe in the occurring after (but not including) the current frame
Additionally, there are a few other modes that can be used, though
they are less useful for direct use from the UI, though they can be
used via the PyAPI as need be.
---
Also, I did some cleanups in the "Pose" menu to bring it more into
line with the Object mode one. There are some more tweaks that could
still be done here, such as bringing the keyframing operator entries
under a submenu too (as in the Object mode version) to get the length
of this under control.
