Hi triplus,

Two years ago you started this thread, how is Piemenu 2.0 development status?

Me and, I bet lot more users, are still eagerly waiting for it. ;)

Cheers

Is it possible to change the current access key (TAB) to something else? I tend to use TAB to quickly move across textboxes to edit preferences on parts/sketches (for example, creating a datum plane and settings the offsets/rotations without having to constantly click the textboxes). When PieMenu is active, I can't do that.

@triplus hasn't been active recently so my take would be to change line 1905 of InitGui.py in the %APPDATA%\FreeCAD\Roaming\Mod\PieMenu folder from:

Code: Select all

        actionKey.setShortcut(QtGui.QKeySequence("TAB"))
to reflect another key but make sure it doesn't clash with another part of FreeCAD.

Hello everybody,

this is my first post on this forum starting with a question regarding the PieMenu.

As soon as I hit the TAB button the hole screen turns into opaque black. How to change this behavior?

This sounds a like a display driver issue. Does that happen in any other context when using FreeCAD ?

That's the only and first appearance like this in FreeCAD.

If you want the most up to date PieMenu functionality, you may want to consider using realthunder's LinkStage3 branch. He has souped up @triplus's PieMenu addon (which is what you see in this thread)
You can download LinkStage3 from: https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD_ ... 3/releases

Here's an example of realthunder's enhancements:

I installed that version. It didn't change that behavior.
