Daily Blender Tip – Auto Delete
Jan van den Hemel writes:
Normally Blender presents a pop-up menu when you press X to delete something, which is often an unnecessary step. The free Auto Delete add-on gives you an extra keyboard shortcut to skip this step. A real time-saver!
Hi,
nice tip but how about just pressing the Del-key on your keyboard instead of X or right click choose delete?
Using the delete key never pops up any message in my case, it just deletes stuff without asking. ^^
That’s weird, Del key for me is exactly the same as pressing the X key. Someone else commented this on Instagram, and I tried it out but it’s really just the same for me. Do you use a non-default keymap?
Del key deletes right away in obeject mode, but it does exactly the same as x key as soon as you are in edit mode… it forces the pop up menu…
so I think Jan’s addon ist helpful and, thank you Jan for sharing it :-)
And most of all, thank you Vladislav ;-)
No, all standard keymapping on my side here. Just checked the preferences for about half an hour but could not find anything related to that.
If this is considered a bug then hopefully it should never be fixed. ^^
When I try to install the add on it gives me an error “Traceback, (most recent call last) Anybody an idea what this means?
Thank you for your help :-)
Did you install the correct one (the Blender 2.8 one in case that’s what you’re using, for example)? You have to unzip the download and then use one of the .py files. Hope that helps.
