Add an update function that ensures the key-configuration is reloaded.
Also prefer passing individual options instead of passing in
PreferencesExperimental to the key-map since it's no longer clear
which options impact shortcuts.
Remove experimental options & make them default:
- Tweak Select: Mouse Select & Move
- Tweak Tool: Left Mouse Select & Move
Changes:
- LMB press selects the element
(unless it's already selected - in that case no selection takes place).
- LMB drag moves the selection.
- LMB click selects the element
(deselecting all others).
Implications:
- This makes it possible to tweak more than one item at a time.
- It is no longer possible to set the 3D cursor with LMB when the tweak
tool is active.
Details:
- Shift-LMB remains unchanged.
- RMB selection remains unchanged.
- Blender 2.7 key-map remains unchanged.
Addresses design task #96544.
Armature layers (the 32 little dots) and bone groups are replaced with
Bone Collections:
- Bone collections are stored on the armature, and have a name that is
unique within that armature.
- An armature can have an arbitrary number of bone collections (instead
of the fixed 32 layers).
- Bones can be assigned to zero or more bone collections.
- Bone collections have a visibility setting, just like objects in scene
collections.
- When a bone is in at least one collection, and all its collections in
are hidden, the bone is hidden. In other cases (in any visible
collection, or in no collection at all), the bone visibility is
determined by its own 'hidden' flag.
- For now, bone collections cannot be nested; they are a flat list just
like bone groups were. Nestability of bone collections is intended to
be implemented in a later 4.x release.
- Since bone collections are defined on the armature, they can be used
from both pose mode and edit mode.
Versioning converts bone groups and armature layers to new bone
collections. Layers that do not contain any bones are skipped. The old
data structures remain in DNA and are unaltered, for limited forward
compatibility. That way at least a save with Blender 4.0 will not
immediately erase the bone group and armature layers and their bone
assignments.
Shortcuts:
- M/Shift+M in pose/edit mode: move to collection (M) and add to
collection (shift+M). This works similar to the M/Shift+M menus for
objects & scene collections.
- Ctrl+G in pose mode shows a port of the old 'bone groups' menu. This
is likely to be removed in the near future, as the functionality
overlaps with the M/Shift+M menus.
This is the first commit of a series; the bone collections feature will
be improved before the Blender 4.0 release. See #108941 for more info.

Since the 5e1470d1b3 / 0f51b5b599 the `fmodifier_add` operator has
moved to the Channel menu in the Graph Editor and also the channels
context menu in the channels region. The shortcut was not working in the
channels region though since the operator was only in the keymap for the
main region (not the channels region).
Now move the keymap entry to the generic keymap of the Graph Editor so
it works in both regions.

Fix some remaining consistency issues for selection shortcuts for both
left and right click select.
Based on design of #105298
Grease Pencil:
Instead of using `Alt Select` shortcuts for selecting whole strokes,
these are now following existing standards with `L` and `Shift L` from
select linked pick operations.
`Alt Select` keys are instead used for selecting individual components
in modes that use brushes just like [0].
Regular selection like `Select` and `Shift Select` are now always mapped
to ensure that all keymap configurations are able to select individual
components in every mode.
This does not cause conflicting behavior with brushes.
Lasso Select shortcuts on `Ctrl Alt` and `Shift Ctrl Alt` have been
removed. These were duplicates and are not needed.
Mesh Sculpt Mode:
Mesh sculpt mode uses correct lasso masking shortcuts in both right and
left click select. These are now the same as lasso selection shortcuts
in other modes.
Ref !110960.

For speed and consistency with other areas in Blender like Outliner,
UILists, animation channels, etc.
This is additionally to F2 (Enter in Industry Compatible keymap),
that shortcut is still valid.

Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
The changes in this keymap are much more involved.
If any shortcut isn't mentioned, that means it is unchanged.
General:
- All brush shortcuts have been removed for free custom mapping
- `S` & `U` are now consistently mapped for Brush size & strength
- Redundant shortcuts have been removed such as
- Line Session drawing (In GP Draw Tool)
- Select Alternate in GP
- Quadriflow Remesh (In Mesh Sculpt Mode)
- Box Hide (In Mesh Sculpt Mode)
- Dynamic Topology Toggle (In Mesh Sculpt Mode)
- Mask Overlay (In Mesh Sculpt Mode)
- Removed Lasso Mask/Select shortcuts (This keymap is mainly using the Tools instead. Easy to add back if needed.)
Mode Switching (Global change):
Easier mode switching access for any workflow.
- `123` = switch selection/mask modes for the **current mode**. If in object mode, it will first switch to edit mode (Previously this would always switch to edit mode)
- `4` = Mode switching pie menu (previously `4-7` for individual modes)
- `Tilde` = Transfer Mode (Previously not mapped. Useful for instant object switching while keeping the current mode)
- `5-0` = Unassigned
Brush vs Selection:
Multiple Modes were missing these shortcuts.
- `Shift` `LMB` = Smooth Brush
- `Ctrl` `LMB` = Inverted Brush
- `Shift` `Alt` `LMB` = Set Selection
- `Shift` `Alt` `Ctrl` `LMB` = Toggle-Extend Selection
Brush Size vs Select Linked:
These were previously in direct conflict. Now they are both distinct and based on other DCC software.
- `[` = Decrease Brush Size
- `]` = Increase Brush Size
- `Alt` `dbl LMB` = Select Linked Pick
- `Ctrl` `Alt` `dbl LMB` = Deselect Linked Pick
- `Ctrl` `L` = Select Linked
Select & Mask:
- `Q` = Cycle Masking/Selection Tools
- `Ctrl` `A` = Mask/Select Pie Menu (Draw, Paint, Sculpt Modes)
- `Alt` `A` = Auto-Masking Pie Menu (Mesh & GP Sculpt Mode)
- `Shift A` = Expand Mask (Mesh Sculpt Mode) / Grow Selection (Curve Sculpt Mode)
- `Shift` `Alt` `A` = Expand Mask by Normals (Mesh Sculpt Mode)
Face Sets & Visibility:
Previously missing shortcuts.
- `Shift` `W` = Face Set Expand
- `Shift` `Alt` `W` = Active Face Set Expand
- `Ctrl` `W` = Face Set Edit Pie Menu
- `Page Up` = Grow Active Face Set
- `Page Down` = Shrink Active Face Set
- `H` = Hide Active Face Set
- `Shift` `H` = Hide Inactive Face Sets / Show everything
- `Ctrl` `H` = Hide Masked Geometry
Transforming:
For Sculpt and Weight Painting modes. Previously missing
- `C` = Cursor Tool
- `W` = Move Tool
- `E` = Rotate Tool
- `R` = Scale Tool
- `T` = Transform Tool
- `Shift` `RMB` = Set Cursor / Set Transform Pivot in Sculpt Mode
Sculpting:
Consistent and easier to access shortcuts for remeshing and subdiv level .
- `Shift` `D` = Subdivision level Down (Previously on `Pg Down`)
- `D` = Subdivision level Up (Previously on `Pg Up`)
- `Shift` `Ctrl` `D` = Voxel Size / Dyntopo Size
- `Ctrl` `D` = Voxel Remesh / Dyntopo Flood Fill
Adding missing shortcuts
Painting:
Fixing various missing or inconsistent shortcuts.
- `Backspace` = Set Color/Weight
- `I` = Sample Color/Weight
- `Alt` `I` = Sample Vertex Group
- `Alt` `Ctrl` `I` = Vertex Group Lock Pie
- `X` = Swap Colors (Previously missing in Sculpt Mode)
Grease Pencil:
Adding many missing shortcuts.
- `Shift S` = Animation Menu (Previously on `I` and missing outside of Draw Mode)
- `Shift` `Alt` `S` = Insert Blank Keyframe
- `Alt` `H` = Unhide Layers
- `Ctrl` `H` = Hide Active Layer
- `Shift` H = Hide Inactive Layers
- `Y` = Active Layer Menu
- `Shift` `Y` = Merge Layer Down
- `Alt` `Y` = Material Menu
- `Alt` `Backspace`/`Delete` = Delete Active Keyframe (Previously on `D` `Backspace`/`Delete`)
Other:
Adding missing shortcuts.
- `MMB` for panning in the User Interface (Highly requested)
- `Shift F` = Center View to Mouse (Replacing Frame Selected(All Regions) shortcut)
- `D` = Annotate
- `L` = Toggle Stabilize Stroke (Previously on `Shift` `S`)
- `Ctrl F` = Weight radial control in weight painting modes
Ref !109750.
This patch includes set of smaller changes to address visual
inconsistencies and bugs:
- Strip previews are drawn under title bar
- All strip previews now disappear when there isn't enough space for
drawing
- Like the sound strip, the color strip expands to fill the whole strip
when there is little vertical space, "taking over" the strip title
Color is more important visual indicator than the name of the strip
- Disabling strip title no longer disables strip handle frame previews
- All strip previews are now be affected by the "Show overlays" toggle
- Turning off strip text overlay no longer makes the color strip
preview disappear
The presets for external text editors introduced in e16ec95a16 are
stored in Python files. The names of these files are used to generate
the UI name, and are case-sensitive.
They are currently lower case, but should be title case like other
presets. This commit renames the files so they are title case.

Note that the previous commit [0] added a workaround for MMB-Emulation,
which should have been a separate commit.
(Ctrl-Shift-LMB for weight paint selection).
Extended the code comment for this.

In Walk Navigation mode with gravity enabled, the jump height is
often inappropriate for the scene that you are viewing. This is a small
feature that lets you change the jump height in modal walk navigation
as you go, i.e. if there are varying elevation changes across the scene.
Pressing '.' increases and ',' decreases the jump height (because these keys
are the same for most layouts).

Use Alt-LMB for selecting in vertex/weight paint modes for vertex, face
& pose bone selection - replacing Ctrl which was previously used for
selecting. This is needed so Ctrl & Shift can be consistent between all
paint modes.
Loop selection is available With Alt-LMB but only when selection tools
are active (with the LMB select key-map). They're always available with
the RMB select key-map.
This also resolves a conflict where box & lasso select tools couldn't
be used to de-select (via Ctrl) because the Ctrl-LMB was also clearing
the selection.
Part of #105298 design task.
Selection modes are typically assigned to the number keys.
These are some updates for more consistency among painting and grease
pencil modes:
- Paint Mask = `M` changed to `1`.
- Vertex Selection = `V` changed to `2`.
- GP: Point Selection = `1`.
- GP: Stroke Selection = `2`.
- GP: Segment Selection = `3`.

## Overview
Much like node groups, or a VSE clip, when we duplicate we actually want a _linked_ duplicate. This PR updates the NLA key board for Duplicate linked to `Shift + D`, and Duplicate to `Alt + D`.
Additionally, update Tool tips to reflect duplicate vs linked duplicate.

"Proportional Editing" is the term officially used by the Blender
community to describe this specific feature.
Also, "Proportional Editing" seems to be more descriptive than
"Proportional Influence", as it emphasizes the ability to
proportionally edit the areas around the selection.
Binding a key to weight-paint with mode set (invert/smooth for e.g.)
caused regular weight painting to reuse this setting.
Don't reuse paint "mode" between strokes.
This also allows the default to be removed from the key-map.
- Use km_edit_ prefix for edit-modes.
- Rename "curve" to "curve_legacy".
- Consistent naming for naming for vertex/face selection mask.
- Group object/grease-pencil/paint/edit mode key-map functions together.
When pressing N-key a pie menu is shown which can toggle regions,
typically the toolbar, sidebar and the header.
This supports toggling regions without having to add a separate shortcut
for each one.
The pie menu locations selected based on the region alignment.
See #107785.
Move shared transform operations out of the 3D viewport key-map into a
template function which each modes key-map uses.
This allows sculpt mode to key-bindings which where bound to transform
actions that don't make sense in sculpt mode.
Note that this enables `alt_navigation` for some 2D viewport actions
where it's not yet used.

In order to avoid navigation hotkey conflicts during transform
operations, this commit implements the "Transform Navigation with Alt"
option.
This option is enabled by default and makes navigation hotkeys require
the `Alt` key during a transforming in the 3D View.

This reverts commit d53862351d.
After conducting tests with artists at the studio, it was observed that
altering the Transform Modal Maps caused significant disruption due to
the heavy reliance on the "Proportional Editing" and "Automatic
Constraint" features.
Considering this, it is now deemed more beneficial to provide users
with the choice of adapting their muscle memory to the new changes.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/109660
As suggested in #108669, the "Navigate during Transform" option has
been removed and this feature works by default.
Now if you press `G`, `R` or `S` to move, rotate or scale an object you
can also navigate in the viewport.
Note that this update modifies the default keymap.
Now pressing `Alt` is required for the following modals:
- `PROPORTIONAL_SIZE_UP`,
- `PROPORTIONAL_SIZE_DOWN`,
- `PROPORTIONAL_SIZE`,
- `AUTOIK_CHAIN_LEN_UP`,
- `AUTOIK_CHAIN_LEN_DOWN`,
- `AUTOCONSTRAIN`,
- `AUTOCONSTRAINPLANE`.

No user visible changes expected.
Needed for the asset shelf (#102879).
Adds a UI operator triggered on Ctrl+F that will attempt to start
filtering for the hovered UI view, typically enabling a filter text
button.
View items can implement their own filter method, there's no default
one. Maybe we should add default or re-usable string filtering method
though.
Filtering is applied after constructing the view and filtered out (as
in, invisible) items are kept in storage, so that their state
(selection, active, etc.) is preserved. The filtered state is cached in
the item, so this is only done once per redraw.
The graph editor has the function to hide the display of FCurves and to only draw keyframes on selected curves.
Both options were not respected when executing the frame jump operator,
meaning it would jump to potentially hidden keyframes.
This patch adds a new operator that is specific to the Graph Editor and that respects those features.
The only possible issue that could arise from this is a slight confusion for the user
why they behave differently between editors.
Especially with only the Graph Editor and the 3D view open.
In general I think it's an improvement and follows the "you can only modify what you see" mantra in blender

Add a user preference to set up a custom text editor for editing text
files with the "Edit Source" action in the UI context menu.
- An operator TEXT_OT_jump_to_file_at_point has been added.
- A custom editor can be set in the user preferences.
- A preset has been included for "Visual Studio Code".
- When the editor is not set, use Blender's internal editor.
