The Pie Menu

Opening

Press V (or your configured hotkey) anywhere in the editor. The pie menu appears centered at your cursor.

Navigation

• Hover over a wedge to highlight it
• Click (or release V, depending on activation mode) to execute the action
• Sub-menus expand as nested rings when you hover their parent wedge
• Back arrow appears at the center when inside a sub-menu — click to go back
• Go To Wheel wedges navigate to another wheel (with breadcrumb history)
• Mouse wheel can zoom the pie menu (preview mode only)
• Move cursor to center (dead zone) to deselect all

Activation Modes

Set in Project Settings or the Quick Menu Panel:

• Click and Release (default) — hover over wedge, release mouse/key to execute
• Click Only — click on wedge to execute
• Release Only — release the V key to execute whatever is hovered

Dismissing

• Click outside the menu
• Press Escape
• Press V again (in some modes)
• Click the dead zone center
• Switch focus to another window

Inline Editing

The pie menu is not just a launcher — it's also a live editor:

• "+" button — appears on the wheel when there's room for more wedges. Click to open the action picker and add a new action directly, without opening the graph editor.
• "X" button — appears on hover for connected wedges. Requires two clicks: the first shows a confirmation prompt, the second removes the connection.
• E key (configurable) — press while the pie menu is open to jump straight to the graph editor, focused on the current wheel.

Visual Indicators

• Submenu indicator arc — Wedges that lead to a SubMenu or GoToWheel display a thin bright arc (3px) offset slightly outside the wedge outer edge, making them visually distinct from pure action wedges.
• Warning toast — When an action cannot execute, a shake animation overlay appears on the wedge as a warning.

Context-Aware Behavior

When you press V, Quick Menu evaluates your graph:

1. Starts at Root
2. Follows Switch nodes based on current context
3. Reaches a WheelOutput
4. Displays that wheel's actions

If no wheel matches the current context: - Falls back to a Default wheel (if one exists) - Or shows a "Create Wheel" panel (configurable in Project Settings)
