Quick Trigger Pie Menu (QT-Pie 🥧)

A simple Blender addon that adds a pie menu across editors for faster, left-hand access to common actions.

This add-on replaces Blender's Quick Favorites hotkey with an easily accessible pie menu.
The default entries target actions whose default hotkeys are awkward to hit with the left hand while the right hand stays on the mouse (e.g., Ctrl-P, O, Insert Keyframe).
In the Settings of the add-on, you can edit each of the 8 slices with either Label, Operator (category.operator), or optional Icon to add your own custom entry to the Pie Menu.

Requirements

Blender 4.5+
