Blender 4.5 LTS: Python API¶

Additions¶

User Interface¶

• KeyConfig.keymaps.find_match(keymap)

  Add a convenience function to find the matching key-map from another key-configuration.

  This avoids having to pass multiple arguments to the existing find method.

  (28126b83a5).

• KeyMap.keymap_items.find_match(keymap, keymap_item)

  Add a method to support looking up key-map items from other key-maps.

  This allows an add-ons preferences to show the key-map editor for key-map items they define while maintaining the original key-map entries (used by "Reset to Default").

  Typically the find_match method should be called on key-maps from: context.window_manager.keyconfigs.user to lookup key-map items which the add-on created in: context.window_manager.keyconfigs.addon.

Pipeline & I/O¶

• Mesh.calc_smooth_groups(use_bitflags=False, use_boundary_vertices_for_bitflags=False)

  The Mesh API to compute smooth groups has been updated to also optionally take boundary vertices into account, and not only boundary edges.

  This seems to be the expected way to generate smooth groups by some other DCCs and game engines to correctly recompute normals from this data.

  See !105516 and !135248 for details.
