Why we like it

A focused, single-purpose add-on. Because the key codes live in Blender's KeyMap, users can rebind them if PageUp and PageDown are already in use.

What is Select Circle Radius Keymap?

Select Circle Radius Keymap is a Blender add-on from Nikita Akimov focused on one interaction: adjusting the radius of the Select Circle tool through the keyboard. Pressing PageUp increases the radius, while PageDown decreases it. The keys work in the 3D Viewport window when the Select Circle tool is active.

The key codes are stored in the Blender KeyMap, so the user can change them to any convenient key. This keeps the add-on adaptable to different keyboard setups without being locked to the default PageUp and PageDown assignments.

Built for Blender 2.92 and released under the GPL license, the add-on ships as version 1.0.0 and includes documentation. It ranks at position 2836 in the Superhive library, and a demo video is available for those who want a closer look before installing.

Frequently asked questions

What Blender version does Select Circle Radius Keymap support?

Select Circle Radius Keymap is listed for Blender version 2.92. If you are running a different Blender release, check the developer's page to confirm compatibility before relying on it in your workflow. The add-on operates within the 3D Viewport window when the Select Circle tool is active, so its behaviour is tied to that tool and viewport context rather than to any specific project or scene setup.

Can I change the PageUp and PageDown keys in Select Circle Radius Keymap?

Select Circle Radius Keymap stores its key codes in the Blender KeyMap, and the user can change them to any convenient key. By default, PageUp increases the Select Circle tool radius and PageDown decreases it, but neither assignment is fixed. This lets you rebind the controls if those keys are already used elsewhere in your Blender setup, keeping the add-on adaptable to your own keyboard preferences and avoiding conflicts with existing shortcuts.

Is Select Circle Radius Keymap free?

Select Circle Radius Keymap is listed as free in this catalog. It is distributed under the GPL license. For current licensing terms and any pricing details, check the developer's page directly, since terms can change over time. The listing here also notes documentation is included, which can help you get set up and understand how the radius controls work within the 3D Viewport.

Where do the Select Circle Radius Keymap keys work?

Select Circle Radius Keymap responds to its keys in the 3D Viewport window when the Select Circle tool is active. Outside of that context the radius controls are not intended to operate. This keeps the add-on scoped to the exact situation where changing the Select Circle radius is relevant, so pressing the assigned keys directly adjusts the tool's radius while you are selecting in the viewport.
