Quick Panels

Luigi Crv in Interface



Every panel you use.
One keystroke away.

Assign any Blender panel — native or from any add-on — to a keyboard shortcut. It appears as a floating popup at your cursor, in every editor, in every mode, without breaking your flow.

Object Mode, Edit Mode, Sculpt, Shader Editor, UV Editor, Geometry Nodes — it doesn't matter. Quick Panels works everywhere in Blender.

Display Modes

3 Ways to Open Your Panels

Each Quick Panel can be set to one of three display modes. Choose the one that fits your workflow.

MODE 1
Standard Popup
The panel appears floating at your cursor. Click outside to close. Multiple panels open in tabs inside the same popup.
MODE 2
Pie Menu
Panels arranged radially around the cursor. All options visible at once. Minimal mouse movement required.
MODE 3
Grouped
Panels grouped inside the pie slices. Enable Auto-Open to launch the panel directly on selection — no extra click.
Panel Browser — Alt+F2

Browse, preview,
and add any panel.

Press Alt+F2 anywhere in Blender to open the Panel Browser — a full library of every indexed panel, including panels from all your installed add-ons. Filter by category, preview panel contents, and add them to any Quick Panel in a few clicks.

→ Category filters
→ Panel preview before adding
→ Add to any Quick Panel instantly
→ Detects newly installed add-ons live

Just installed a new add-on?

Open the Browser, search for it, add it. No restart. No reconfiguration. Live.


Panel Search

Find any panel.
Just type.

Panel Search is built into every Quick Panel popup. Open your Quick Panel and start typing — a dynamic search bar with fuzzy matching activates instantly, scanning all your panels. Typos forgiven. Your 5 most recently opened panels appear at the top every time.

→ Fuzzy matching — typos forgiven
→ Results appear as you type
→ 5 recent panels pinned at the top
→ Searches panel names and their location breadcrumb
→ Typo tolerance adjustable in Settings

No shortcut needed

Open your Quick Panel with its shortcut and start typing — the search bar activates instantly, without pressing anything else.


Hidden Gem

Flip any value. Anywhere.

Hover over any numeric field in Blender and press Alt + Right Click. The value flips its sign instantly — 1 becomes −1, −0.5 becomes 0.5. Does not work inside any Blender popup — a current API limitation that applies to all popups in Blender.

→ Works in the sidebar, Properties, and all standard editors
→ Default shortcut: Alt + Right Click — customizable
→ No setup — active by default
Everything included

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

🌐

Works Everywhere

Every editor. Every mode. Every context. Object, Edit, Sculpt, UV, Shader, Geometry Nodes — your shortcut works in all of them.

⌨️

Unlimited Shortcuts

Create as many Quick Panels as you need. One for modeling tools, one for rigging, one for rendering settings — each with its own key.

📋

Export & Import

Copy your entire configuration to clipboard with one click. Paste it on another machine, another Blender version. No files, no friction.

↔️

Negate Value

Alt + Right Click on any numeric field to flip its sign instantly. Active in sidebars, Properties, and most editors.

🔎

Auto-Detection

100+ add-ons already indexed. Hard Ops, BoxCutter, Modifier Tools, RetopoFlow, Rigify — their panels are immediately available in the Browser.

🔒

Context-Aware Locking

Some panels only work in specific contexts. Locked panels show an icon explaining why — no silent failures, no confusion.

Export & Import

Your setup is always portable.

Copy your entire Quick Panels configuration — all shortcuts, panels, and settings — to the clipboard in one click. Paste it into any other Blender installation. Works across machines, across Blender versions. If a panel isn't installed on the new machine, it's silently skipped — no errors.

What's Coming Next

The roadmap

Quick Panels is actively developed. What comes next depends on how the community grows — but here's what's already planned.

🎁 Quick Panels Assets
A companion pack of curated, ready-to-use panel sets built for specific workflows — modeling, rigging, rendering, UV, and more. Install it, assign a key, and your whole toolkit is one press away.
📬 Community panel requests
An open request system — submit what you'd like to see in Quick Panels Assets and I'll do my best to build it. The most-requested ideas get priority. Your workflow, your tools.
🔔 Smarter panel condition messages
When a panel can't open because conditions aren't met, the current message is generic. We're working on panel-specific guidance — so you know exactly what's needed to open it and why.

Hi, I'm Luigi !

Quick Panels started as a tool I built for myself — to fix something that was quietly costing me time every single day in Blender. I'm sharing it in case it helps your workflow too.

AI Disclosure

Quick Panels was built with AI as an implementation assistant. The product concept, feature decisions, Blender validation, testing across versions, and day-to-day refinement came from me over three months of daily use. I am not a Python developer — AI helped me write the code. Without it I could not have built this. Without me, Quick Panels would not exist either.
