Thanks Trevor :)

Hey, Steven, this is really cool!
I have though one question about it.
In the older version of anim8or, in Object/Point Edit, you could jump from Point to Edge to Face and back by pressing the SpaceBar.
If space bar is already used for something else, it doesn't need to be space bar, but I would like to see this command somewhere as a hotkey.
That feature seems to be absent in this newer version.
I cannot speak for everyone else, but I would always use that space-mode-switch to speed up my modeling ability as space is a lot easier to mash to get to the right setting then moving my hands all about to specifically hit P E or G.
Steve:
Yes the space bar now deselects everything. It does that in all of the editors so it's rather universal.
On a similar note, I'm toying with the idea of a pair of hot keys to go forward and backward in a history queue of what editor/sub-editor you are using, using something like F2 and F2 or Page Up and Page Down. Would that be a usable replacement?
fromsoysauce:
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "history queue" but if it can mechanically work the just the same as the effect of pressing "space" did in the previous version of anim8or then it really does not matter what key it is.
Correct me if I am mistaken, but from what I understand: you are meaning something like: Page UP would do what "Space" did in the old an8, and Page DOWN, would do it in reverse?
If that is the case, then it sounds really neat, going back would be a neat bonus.
----
I don't want to sound like I'm asking for anything, but just my two cents: If it were up to me, personally, just for my specific style of using anim8or, I would have it such that the hot key that has the feature that old "spacebar" did moves it forward, but CTRL + that key moves it backwards. This is mainly because, when I use an8, my pinky is 99% of the time on CTRL, and it would allow you to not need to have the backwards command use up a second key all to itself.
But again, really digging the direction that this is going in Steve, looks super slick and modern!

Looks like you are just asking for an op that loops over component modes without selection conversion. Are you sure this workflow is worth retaining now that Anim8or can auto-convert selection? Steve has agreed to change the p hotkey to v so that you don't have to jump all over the keyboard for a mode switch, so it's about to get better.
