In Blender, you cannot apply a mirror modifier to meshes that have shape keys.
This operator tries to anyways, by duplicating your mesh, flipping it on the X axis and merging into the original. It will also flip vertex groups, shape keys, shape key masks, and even (attempt) shape key drivers, assuming everything is named with .L/.R suffixes.
### Previous Features
## Previous Features
Over time as more things have been fixed on Blender's side, some features have been removed. To avoid confusion, these are listed here:
- As of [Blender 3.1](https://developer.blender.org/rBa215d7e230d3286abbed0108a46359ce57104bc1), holding the Ctrl and Shift buttons in weight painting will use the Subtract and Blur brushes respectively, removing the need for the shortcuts on the 1, 2, 3 keys this addon used to add to provide quick brush switching.
- As of [Blender 3.0](https://developer.blender.org/rBSc0f600cad1d2d107d189b15b12e2fcc6bba0985c), the weight paint overlay is no longer multiplied on top of the underlying colors, removing the need for this addon to change shading or object display settings when using the Toggle Weight Paint mode operator.
