blender-scripts-and-configuration

Description

This repository includes my blender interface theme, keyconfig, and scripts I’ve made.

Usage

I have mirrored the directory hierarchy under <config-folder>/scripts, so you could either:

• Place each thing in the equivalent directory in your hierarchy, or
• set the extra Scripts path in User Preferences > File to where you have downloaded / cloned blender-scripts-and-configuration, save user settings and restart.

To then enable each thing:

Theme

User Preferences > Theme > Presets dropdown

Keyconfig

User Preferences > Input > dropdown (to the right of Presets dropdown)

Addons

each has to be manually enabled in User Preferences > Add-ons.

> Interface theme

blender_24x_alpha.xml

A modified version of the blender_24x preset.

> Keyconfig

+-.blend.py

Optimised for a Maya user (sentence phrasing attribution: shun2522). Documentation here.

> Scripts

ui_p-layout-search.py

I have previously made a repository for it here. It adds a search popup for switching between layouts.

Usage

Bind wm.layout_search, preferably under Screen > Screen (Global)

p-script_console_output.py

Run script from text editor and display the output in console present in the layout. Some of the logic was taken from CoDEmanX addon Run Script in PyConsole, which does something similar except from the console.

Usage

Bind text.script_console_output, preferrably under Text > Text Generic

ui_p-editor-switch-buffer.py

Search popup for switching between open files in the text editor.

Usage

Bind wm.editor_switch_buffer, preferably under Text > Text Generic
