How about adding a list of x length of recently used operators to Blender search? That would cover all the repetitive needs pretty well I think. Just have it ignore shortcut key inputs.

Vista and 7 users who have learned to use search will understand what I’m getting at. Actually, as more people get comfortable with the “search based interface” of modern operating systems (think Spotlight, Beagle, Vista, 7 etc.) the same concepts would make using Blender easier for all.

Yeah, I know.. it would mean typing text, reading, and developing understanding of application concepts. Hopefully these are things we haven’t evolved too far past!.

I’ve noticed that many models end up with “soft” oversized door seams and thought that this would make a nice contribution for my first Blender video tutorial.

Hopefully you’ll find something of value here for your own projects.

As a starter here’s my latest test of Blender’s fantastic cloth feature.
