Why we like it

Quickclick earns its place for a narrow, practical job: swapping the hotkeys and menus normally used to change modes for a double-click. The mode mappings are simple and easy to recall, and it covers a run of Blender versions from 2.83 through 3.0.

What is Quickclick?

Quickclick is a Blender addon from Vaguely Butter that changes object interaction modes through mouse clicks rather than hotkeys and menus. It maps mode switching to a double-click and modifier combinations, keeping the action a click away.

The mapping is direct: double-click an object to enter edit mode, Alt + double-click for pose mode, and Shift + double-click for texture paint mode. Each mode is reached from the object itself, without stepping through the usual menus or key presses.

Quickclick is compatible with Blender 2.83, 2.9, 2.91, 2.92, 2.93 and 3.0, and is released under the GPL license. Documentation is included, and a demo video is available. It appears among the modeling addons on the Superhive library, where it holds a five-star average across two ratings.

Who is Quickclick best for?

Quickclick is best for blender users who want to switch between edit, pose and texture paint modes using mouse clicks instead of hotkeys and menus.

How much does Quickclick cost?

Quickclick is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Quickclick support?

Quickclick lists compatibility with Blender 2.83, 2.9, 2.91, 2.92, 2.93 and 3.0, covering a run of releases across the 2.8, 2.9 and 3.0 series. If you are on a newer Blender build, that support is not stated here, so check the developer's page before installing to confirm it runs on your version. The addon is also distributed under the GPL license, which governs how it can be used and shared.

How do I switch to pose or texture paint mode with Quickclick?

Quickclick assigns each mode to a click gesture on the object. Double-click an object to enter edit mode, hold Alt and double-click to enter pose mode, and hold Shift and double-click to enter texture paint mode. Every switch happens from the object itself with a double mouse click, so you reach these modes without going through the usual hotkeys or menus. Documentation is included with the addon.

Is Quickclick free to download?

Quickclick is listed as free here, so you can add it without a purchase. Pricing and licensing can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. The addon is released under the GPL license, which governs how it can be used and shared. It also ships with documentation, and a demo video is available if you want to see it in action.
