Faster workflow using pie menus (using Link branch)

Hello! I am using realthunders Branch Daily Link 2022.04.30

Here you can find a different approach that can be great for beginners because of pie menus.
This approach is easier and really faster than searching to select the proper function and move mouse continually up and down.

You can find the approach here.

Also available will be a Link on how you can create your own pie menus and you can get a link to download my current personal settings and pie menus, so you can immediately start using it.

This is very thorough. Thank you. Wish there was a streamlined way to have master and link branch share the preference packs features available in master. And viceversa

Good video, well thought out - thank you!
Perhaps this thread should be in Link branch sub-forum?

I have to enable pie menu as popup to get keys Q and W working, when navigate to next level in pie menu. I guess that FreeCAD lost focus to the activated menu. The scroll wheel or dragged left mouse works though.

Mine cuts off after X letters seems like there is a box around it that is too small:

Ok this only happens on 4K on my 1080 screen it works.
Time for a bug report I think....Made it.

Yes, you are right about that. I am not sure I ve mentioned it in video but I offer my personal settings that includes this option plus it covers most common WB. You can find it in

But please do a Backup of your own settings before using mine. Everything is explained in the video.
