Why we like it

Earns its place in the superhive library as a focused editor-switching pie menu with customisable actions, names, and icons.

What is Blender Editor Pie Manu Add-Ons?

Blender Editor Pie Manu Add-Ons is an add-on for Blender built around one-click editor switching. It presents a pie menu you use to change the active editor, and the menu itself can be customised — you can change the pie menu action, its names, and its icons.

The pie menu opens on a default hotkey mapped to Mouse Button 5, and installation includes an automatic setup step so the menu is ready without manual configuration. You can also adjust the pie menu action from the N-Panel. A later update added a search feature and a dynamic menu, and documentation is provided to walk through installation and setup.

It supports Blender versions 3.0 through 4.0 and is distributed under the GPL license. It's listed as free in this catalog; check the developer's page for documentation and current licensing details.
