Drag menu items from the menu to shelfs

All scripts are setup that you can drag and drop them from the menu to any shelf by holding Ctrl + Shift and the middle mouse button.

Assign hotkeys

Assign hotkeys to any of the menu commands (plus some extra ones). Just select "Custom Scrips" from the drop down menu in the Hotkeys editor and assign a hotkeys to your favourite command.

Access the commands in scripts

There are three ways you can access the commands in your custom scripts.

  • Via Mel
  • Via maya.cmds
  • Via pure python

All of them do exactly the same. When you select a script in the FG-Tools menu, it will print the name of the command in the script editor output. So that's an easy way to find out the name of a particular FG-Tools command. If you want to get an overview of all the commands then look in the hotkey editor in the "Custom Scripts" section.

Note that the equivalent access via PyMel does NOT work (yet)!
