Similar to many apps:
- Use left click and drag to box select
- Hold modifiers like Ctrl and Shift to remove or expand selections
- Use MMB-drag to use the tool outside of the gizmo area
In the future it would be nice if the transform tools would have this increased flexibility built-in so you could configure it more easily, but this setup seems to at least make it do the most commonly useful thing by default.
This is a first step towards T61599.
This way the invoke function can be used for the confirm
dialog in a separate patch.

Adding this back was a frequent request.
Now the panel can be hidden - some users may prefer only to access this
via a shortcut.
Unfortunately this uses an F-Key we'd intended to keep free for users.
This still keeps the middle block of F-Keys (5..8) free.
Each space had separate operators, duplicating logic.
Use RNA properties instead so adding the ability to toggle other
region types (floating redo region for eg) doesn't need to have an
extra operator per space type.
It's also nicer to show a check-box for something which can be toggled.
Following user suggestion
- Similar to some apps
- Works better on laptops and desktops without numpads
- Also fix some small inconsistencies with select more/less in Dopesheet
- Use C for Cursor tool
- Use D for Annotate tool
- Use tool shortcuts in UV Editor (although it's weak here still - waiting for Move, Rotate & Scale tools here)
When a tool is activated in many cases the gizmo is needed so toggling
them isn't so useful.
Change behavior to use the active object instead so users who prefer
to enable gizmos in the popover can toggle them.
Also remove duplicate keymap item.
Based on feedback from animators, this is useful to keep as a view
option (as in 2.7x).
Now the transform gizmos can be enabled from the popover,
the tools still work for location/scale/rotation.
The transform tool has been removed.
See T63518
* It can be hidden by dragging it up/down.
* It can be at the top or bottom, independent of the header.
* It uses the color theme from the header.
* It does not change its color, when the area becomes active.
Currently, it is used in the text editor to display the file path.

This removes `VIEW3D_OT_select_or_deselect_all`, adding a
deselect_all option to the `VIEW3D_OT_select` operator.
- Add utility functions to simplify de-selecting all.
- Return true from selection functions when they change the selection
to avoid redundant updates.
- Use arrays of bases when passing objects between selection utility
functions since some users require bases.
- Fix logical error in box selection that updated all objects after
the first hit.
This adds entries to copy/paste (selected) IDs in the Outliner, as well
as usual ctrl-C/ctrl-V shortcuts.
Note that the clipboard is shared with other IDs copying (currently, the
one for objects in 3DView).

This is a full revert of b6c61945ae.
But ammended to include the object.hide_collection() operator to the
pose keymap as well.
While trying to expose the shortcuts to pose mode, I ended up exposing
them for all the modes. It is now only available for object and mode
modes.
- Replace Window context menu with File menu.
This was recently removed however artists in the studio use
link/append often.
- Add preferences to this menu so `F4, PKey` can still be used as a
quick way to access preferences.
In 2.79 there was an "Item" panel with only to give access to rename
from the 3D view.
Add this functionality for context sensitive renaming.
Currently this works for objects/bones/sequence strips & nodes.
This uses F2 for a window level shortcut, replacing the file-io menu.
See: T61480
We already have dedicated outliner visibility operators that not only
take precedent over those ones, but also unhide collections as well.
No change for the end user. That said, since I added the outliner
hide/unhide operators I assumed that newly visible objects are to be
selected. That can change in a separate commit, but it should be done
by changing OUTLINER_OT_unhide_all.

Prepare for exposing tool registration to the Python API.
- Generated tools can use their own prefix so naming collisions
won't happen between hard coded & generated tools.
- Add-on authors can use the add-on name as a prefix.
Currently the names match, renaming will happen next.
In keeping with convention to match code & UI naming.
- No user visible changes.
- Include 'menu' in the name since context is an overloaded term.
- While a few of these are panels, from a user perspective they are
still context menus.
