User Guide

Build your first action menu

Choose a folder in Menu Structure, add an action in Menu Actions, and give it a name, a Python script, and a shortcut.

Arrange a nested menu tree

Use New Root and New Child to build folders. Child folders appear before Python actions, and each folder belongs to one parent.

Navigate without leaving the keyboard

Choose items with their shortcuts or the arrow keys. Press Enter or Right Arrow to activate, Backspace or Left Arrow to go back, and Esc to close.

Fit a menu to your editor

Set UI Size and Rows Per Column per menu. Reopening centers the last visible selection under the cursor while keeping the popup inside the editor.

MP4 demo placeholderAdjust menu scale and rows per column, then open the menu near an editor edge

Keep actions in the right context

Combine Active in Workspaces, Active in Editors, and Active in Blender Modes on a root menu to control when its entire branch is available.

MP4 demo placeholderRestrict a menu to a chosen workspace, the 3D Viewport, and Mesh Edit Mode

Run shortcuts without opening a menu

Enable Global Priority with the key icon beside a root folder. Its action shortcuts run directly wherever that root’s context filters allow them.

MP4 demo placeholderEnable root-menu Global Priority, run an action without the popup, and disable priority again

Hide actions without losing their shortcuts

Turn off an action’s Show in Menu eye to keep the popup compact. Its shortcut still works; the temporary reveal control shows hidden actions without changing their saved visibility.

MP4 demo placeholderHide an action, invoke its shortcut, and temporarily reveal hidden actions

Reuse a complete menu branch

Duplicate a branch to make an independent copy, or move it to another folder. Copies keep their structure and code but start with shortcuts and Global Priority disabled.

Repeat your last operation

Use Blender’s native Repeat Last, normally Shift+R, to repeat the last compatible operation or successful MenuWeave script. A later Blender operation becomes the new repeat target.

MP4 demo placeholderRepeat a MenuWeave Python action, then repeat a newer native Blender operation

Share a menu setup

Export the whole configuration or one selected branch as JSON. Import with Append to add independent root menus, or Replace to load a complete setup.
