In the past I have always wanted to launch my Dials plugin (https://www.core4d.com/ipb/files/file/76-dials/) with a simple right-mouse-button click. Unfortunately this action was already used by the native popup-menu which would provide a list of possible tools and commands. Not wanting to override this I always refrained from providing a proper solution. Recently I revisited the whole idea, and instead of providing the right-mouse-button functionality from within Dials itself I created a separate plugin. This way the original implementation of Dials was left alone. And instead of limiting this feature to launch Dials, the separate plugin would also allow other plugins to be launched by the press of a right-mouse-button. While the Alt-key is being used to navigate the viewport, the Ctrl and Shift keys are natively left unused in combination with a right-mouse-button click (as far as I know). As such I made sure to support these keys to allow for up to a total of 4 possible actions to be controlled. Why Ctrl and Shift? Well, for many years I do have a 3DConnexion SpaceMouse, formerly known as 'SpaceExplorer'. Next to the 6 degrees of freedom it also has (only) 2 buttons. Soon I realized assigning Ctrl and Shift to these buttons would allow me to add and subtract selections, speeding up my workflow during modeling. As such I found it obvious to provide these controls for additional functionality to the RMB plugin. As I am working with my old and trusty Release 20 of Cinema4D I am mainly developing plugin for that release. In some cases I do find the time to port plugins to newer versions of Cinema4D, with the disadvantage that these aren't being tested thoroughly. At this point in time I have a beta version of RMB available for R20 and version 2023 of Cinema4D, Windows only. I am providing the plugin here, as is, for testing purposes. I am looking for feedback, not suggestions nor requests. Documentation is included in the attached zip file. With enough feedback I will post the plugin in the download section.
