Mesh Thikuthiku earns its place in the superhive library as a compact mesh-editing add-on that maps common actions to modifier-key mouse shortcuts. It holds a 5-star rating from 17 ratings and works across Blender 3.2 to 5.1.
Mesh Thikuthiku is a small Blender add-on from Bookyakuno that handles mesh editing through modifier-key mouse shortcuts. It connects vertices by dragging and removes edges with a single click.
Holding Ctrl + Shift + Alt with a left click removes mesh and edges, while dragging removes loop edges. A Loop edge option sets the loop edge as the removal target, a Target only edges option (on by default) limits removal to edges and falls back to vertices or edges if it is invalid, and an Edge merge mode switches to vertex merge instead of edge connection. Middle mouse dragging connects edges between vertices, and a separate action merges vertices by dragging.
The Extrude Wide Lines tool, bound to Alt + Shift + B, creates an extrusion line from selected edges and lets you fine-tune the bevel and extrusion operations at once. The add-on works across Blender 3.2 to 5.1 and is released under the GPL license.
Mesh Thikuthiku is best for blender users working on mesh editing who want modifier-key mouse shortcuts for connecting vertices, removing edges, and extruding lines.
Mesh Thikuthiku is completely free to download and use.
Mesh Thikuthiku is listed as compatible with Blender versions 3.2 through 5.1. If you are running a version inside that window, the add-on's shortcut-driven mesh operations should be available. For any build outside that range, or to confirm the current supported versions before installing, check the developer's page at bookyakuno.com. Because compatibility can shift as Blender updates, the developer's documentation is the most reliable place to verify which releases are officially covered.
Mesh Thikuthiku connects vertices by dragging using Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Middle Mouse Drag, which creates an edge connection between vertices. It also includes a merge vertices by dragging action, and an Edge merge mode option that switches the tool to vertex merge instead of edge connection. These operations rely on modifier-key mouse combinations rather than menu clicks. Full details on each shortcut are available in the add-on's documentation linked from the developer's page.
Mesh Thikuthiku includes an Extrude Wide Lines feature, triggered with Alt + Shift + B, that creates an extrusion line based on the selected edges. It lets you fine-tune the bevel and extrusion operations often performed when creating lines, handling them all at once. This is one of several mesh-editing operations the add-on maps to modifier-key shortcuts. For the exact behaviour and any options tied to this tool, refer to the documentation on the developer's page.
Mesh Thikuthiku removes edges with a click using Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Left Mouse Click, and removes loop edges when you drag with the same modifier keys held. A Loop edge option sets the loop edge as the target to be removed, and a Target only edges option, enabled by default, restricts removal to edges; if it is invalid, the vertices or edges are targeted instead. These options let you control what the removal action affects during editing.
Mesh Thikuthiku is listed as free in this catalog and is released under the GPL license. Because pricing and licensing terms can change over time, the developer's page at bookyakuno.com is the best place to confirm the current terms before you download or install. The GPL license generally governs how the add-on's code can be used and redistributed, so reviewing the developer's documentation will give you the most accurate details on both availability and usage rights.
