The goal is to make the search faster to use by dynamically adapting to the user.
This can be achieved using the simple but common approach of showing recently
selected items at the top. Note, that the "matching score" between the query and
each search item still has precedence when determining the order. So the last used
item is only at the top, if there is no other search item that matches the query better.
Besides making the search generally faster to use, my hope is that this can also
reduce the need for manually weighting search items in some places. This is
because while the ordering might not be perfect the first time, it will always be
once the user selected the element that should be at the top once.
This patch includes:
* Support for taking recent searches into account in string searching.
* Keep track of a global list of recent searches.
* Store recent searches on disk similar to recently opened files.
* A new setting in the user preferences that allows disabling the functionality.
This can be used if deterministic key strokes are required, e.g. for automated tests.
In the future this could be improved in different ways:
* Add some kind of separator in the search list to indicate which elements are at
the top because they have been used recently.
* Store the recent search items per search, instead of in a global list. This way
it could adapt to the user even better.

It's valid for modifier node groups to not have a geometry input, since
they can just be generators. The operator used to give a warning and
cancel itself when there was no geometry input. Now it works, and
skips adding the geometry input and the group input node to the
new group.
In the data-block selectors in the node editor and the header,
apply a few rules to increase the separation between tool and
modifier node groups.
1. The modifier accepts non-asset groups or assets marked
as modifiers (created in the modifier context). Tool node groups
cannot be used by modifiers.
2. The tool context can only edit node group assets marked as tools
(created in the tool context).
When switching contexts, the node group is cleared if the state would
be invalid. The tool node group is still stored in the editor's "root node
tree" property. Since it isn't retrieved from the context, the pin button
is useless, so it isn't displayed in the tool mode.
See #101778, #111526.

Without this it was necessary to convert pasted text into spaces

Since tabs are a valid part of a string, it's incorrect to assume
tabs can always be expanded to spaces.
Pasted text and console output now display tabs properly,
the tab still uses spaces for indenting though.

Default to displaying nearly all nodes when the engine is not set to
Cycles or Eeeve. And instead hide nodes not supported in Eevee only
when Eevee is selected.
This way external engines can use the same menu, particularly useful
for upcoming support for conversion to MaterialX.
Only the Shader category was incomplete like this, so it can also be
seen as fixing an inconsistency with other categories.

I am just finishing it up.
This is a new operator for the Graph Editor.
It shifts the value of the keys in time,
while keeping the actual key positions in the same place.
It supports wrapping, so when offsetting beyond the range
of the F-Curve it will take values from the other end,
but offset in y-value so there is no jump.
This works best with dense key data.

This adds an operator `graph.select_key_handles` to the graph editor
that changes the selection of the different parts of a bezier keyframe. It
operates on all keys that are either themselves selected or have either of
their handles selected, and changes whether the key itself and/or its handles
are selected.
The operator has three options:
- `left_handle_action`
- `right_handle_action`
- `key_action`
Each of which can be set to:
- Select
- Deselect
- Keep (do nothing)

* Workbench only renders the object using a unit matrix this is because

* Navigating with middle mouse button is not working. Unsure what the

To create a connection with the icon that shows up in
ID templates and decorators once library is overriden.
Affects Outliner context and Object menu in 3D Viewport.
Similar to the Asset menu.
Replace the 'armature layers' operator (which would toggle visibility of
armature layers) with the 'bone collections' menu (which allows assigning
to and unassigning from bone collections). The functionality of these
operators is quite different, but it unifies the behaviour between
armature pose and edit modes.
Selecting which bone collections are visible in the 3D Viewport may be
reintroduced after nestable bone collections are implemented. Otherwise
the list of bone collections will likely become unwieldy.
This is a compatibility breaking change to rename all usages of the name
`asset_library_ref` with `asset_library_reference`. Brecht recently
suggested that such abbreviations should be avoided in public API names.
The asset handle type is supposed to be replaced by the asset
representation type. It is designed for the asset system as opposed to
the file browser backend. With d421ebac5e, d04cd3f3e6 and f6a6b27ac1, it
can now do everything that is needed in Python to be a replacement.
With this commit the asset handle type and the file handle type it uses
is almost entirely replaced in Python files (only for the asset view
template we require a collection property taking asset handles still,
for internal reasons.)
Part of #102877 and #108806.
In armature edit mode, replace the 'bone layers' operator with the 'move
to bone collection' operator. This operator now works in both pose mode
and edit mode, and is available with the 'M' hotkey in either mode.
Remove the Ctrl+G shortcut (remnant of the bone group assignment operator),
and change the 'Pose / Bone Collections' menu so that it handles linked
and overridden data properly. Shift+M now shows that menu too.
Each type of Freestyle modifier gets its own panel. Each panel draws
breadcrumbs below the header. These breadcrumbs look like:
MyLineSet > MyLineStyle
They are currently translated, but since they represent data they
should not.
This commit disables translation for these breadcrumbs.

This finalize the implementation of the screen space tracing
for EEVEE-Next.
Refractive objects can now have screen space reflection too
and self reflect.
This keeps the feedback radiance buffer principle of the
Classic EEVEE so that we still get infinite bounces by default.
There are some conflict with refraction tracing and ambient
occlusion nodes. Materials using screen space refraction will
not be able to detect occlusion from any refractive surface using
screen space refraction including itself.
They also won't be visible to screen space reflections from other
materials *not* using screen space refraction.
This should be added to the list of limitations for now.
Note that the current approach to feed the radiance is to copy
the radiance buffer. This has the nice property of only containing
the currently rendered objects and not project transparent objects
or other non-yet rendered object onto the depth behind them.

Changes the `asset_poll()` and `draw_context_menu()` methods for asset

The latter should be removed, so it's better to avoid using it in the

now with d421ebac5e.
Blender's generic custom property panel doesn't support operating on
overridden data yet, so it's better to just hide the panel altogether.

The recent change to the 'Add Modifier' created at least two issues:
* A complete duplicate of UI info for each modifier (its name and icon),
now existing in both the RNA enum definition of modifiers types, and
in the pyhton UI code.
* An implicit duplication of these UI names in two different translation
contexts, since the ones from the enum use the default one, while
explicit labels passed to the `layout.operator` UI API get assigned a
default 'operator' context. See PR !112246 for details about this.
Both issues can be easily solved by making the new python code for these
menus a bit smarter. Adding a helper function that adds the `add_modifier`
operator with the right parameters, just based on the operator type.
Both names (labels) and icons can be found in the enum property
`bl_rna` definition itself then.
This change:
* Avoids duplicating UI info.
* Fixes translation context mismatch, by forcing the usage of the
default one also from the python code.
* Makes code less verbose and overall more readable.
NOTE: An attempt has been made to use the `get_name` callback of
operator types to automatically return the right name based on the
defined type, but this is currently utterly failing with regular
layout-based UI code. This will be reported and handled separately.

Now that specific menus can be searched directly (see 7f9d51853c978ff),
there is no need to maintain separate search functionality for adding
nodes. This PR removes the add node search. In a way this brings us
closer to the `NodeItem` situation before, but the setup is more
flexible since the menus are more standard and easier to customize.
In the few ways we customized the node search items before, this gives
us the same results as before. Overall the searching is less flexible,
but I think that is just a tradeoff we have to accept for the simplicity
of searching menus. In the future menus could be made more dynamic,
with each builtin node's menu path stored on the node type, similar to
assets. That might be a nice compromise. In the meantime this code
is just dead weight.

Reasons to keep calling it Geometry Nodes:
* People can search for Geometry or Nodes and find it.
* It makes a connection with the editor called Geometry Nodes.
Interesting enough these were similar reasons to the original discussion
we had when Geometry Nodes first got added to Blender. Basically the
reasoning is still valid.
Counter-arguments:
* Over-time more and more modifiers will be geometry-nodes based, it
could be seem as strange to single out one of them.
* Once we have different node-base systems that may also work as
modifiers (e.g., collection modifiers?) we will need a more unified
name.
The response to the latter is that once we get to this we will also
rename the editor. Until then we keep what is working.
Breaking change since the operator name changes.
Users have been confused about this for a long time.
The term "bake" in the context of animation usually means
to add keys at a given interval without changing the shape of the curve.
The fact that the curve isn't editable after baking was the main issue.
In order to stop the confusion the operator is renamed to "Keys to Samples"
to indicate that there is a conversion happening and that there are no keys afterwards.
The Un-Bake operator has also been changed to "Samples to Keys"
The operator description has been updated to mention that after the conversion
the data is no longer editable.
The "Bake Sound to F-Curves" has been renamed to "Create Samples from Sound"

There are no more bone groups, and the colors have been moved to the
bones themselves (042c5347f4b8e69dee76285e3bf085b8933427b0). Now the
armature property that controls whether they're shown or not also refers
to 'bone colors' instead of 'group colors'.
This was needed while testing #96544, now all curve picking selects
bezier knots without handles - the option can be removed.
This is a functional change for the 2.7x keymap, however selecting
bezier points with handles isn't a useful difference to keep.

The basic idea is very simple. Whenever a supported menu is open, one can just
start typing and this opens a search that contains all the (nested) menu entries.
The main downside is that this collides with accelerator keys. Those are the
underlined characters in each menu. For now, we just enable this new searching
behavior in a few selected menus: Node Add Menu, View3D Add Menu and
Modifier Add Menu.
This new functionality can be enabled for a menu by setting
`bl_options = {'SEARCH_ON_KEY_PRESS'}` to true in the menu type.
The status bar shows `Type to search...` when a menu is opened that supports search.

Change the existing "Is Shade Smooth" node to be named "Is Face Smooth"
and add a new "Is Edge Smooth" node. Also give the "Set Shade Smooth"
node the ability to set face or edge smoothness.
The fact that the nodes process "smooth" data reversed from the builtin
"sharp" attributes can be reversed with versioning in a separate commit.
While it's tempting to abstract the sharpness status into a single node,
face and edge smoothness are accessed separately in edit mode, and the
subtlety of interacting with data on different domains would make that
confusing. Instead, a separate "Is Shade Smooth" node group asset will
give all the sharp elements taking into account both builtin attributes.
The fact that sharpness is stored separately on two domains makes the
best design for simple operations non-obvious. For example, you should be
able to remove all sharpness or make everything flat with a single node.
The behavior depends on whether the two attributes exist and the
combination of values between the domains.

Modifier can be created on sound strips. It lets you define
amplification or attenuation over frequency range from 30Hz to 20 kHz.
The power is limited to -30 db - 30 db. This is done using curve
mapping widget.

Usually use_property_split is matched with false use_property_decorate
when the settings in the panel aren't animateable, which is the case
here. This matches the panel from before the node panels commit.
Was printing the following warning:
Warning: 'MyAssetShelf' does not contain '_AST_' with prefix and suffix
I followed some other template for the naming, apparently the "Ui Tool
Simple" one, but that doesn't print the warning.
Part 3/3 of #109135, #110272
Switch to new node group interfaces and deprecate old DNA and API.
This completes support for panels in node drawing and in node group
interface declarations in particular.
The new node group interface DNA and RNA code has been added in parts
1 and 2 (#110885, #110952) but has not be enabled yet. This commit
completes the integration by
* enabling the new RNA API
* using the new API in UI
* read/write new interfaces from blend files
* add versioning for backward compatibility
* add forward-compatible writing code to reconstruct old interfaces
All places accessing node group interface declarations should now be
using the new API. A runtime cache has been added that allows simple
linear access to socket inputs and outputs even when a panel hierarchy
is used.
Old DNA has been deprecated and should only be accessed for versioning
(inputs/outputs renamed to inputs_legacy/outputs_legacy to catch
errors). Versioning code ensures both backward and forward
compatibility of existing files.
The API for old interfaces is removed. The new API is very similar but
is defined on the `ntree.interface` instead of the `ntree` directly.
Breaking change notifications and detailed instructions for migrating
will be added.
A python test has been added for the node group API functions. This
includes new functionality such as creating panels and moving items
between different levels.
This patch does not yet contain panel representations in the modifier
UI. This has been tested in a separate branch and will be added with a
later PR (#108565).

Armature layers (the 32 little dots) and bone groups are replaced with
Bone Collections:
- Bone collections are stored on the armature, and have a name that is
unique within that armature.
- An armature can have an arbitrary number of bone collections (instead
of the fixed 32 layers).
- Bones can be assigned to zero or more bone collections.
- Bone collections have a visibility setting, just like objects in scene
collections.
- When a bone is in at least one collection, and all its collections in
are hidden, the bone is hidden. In other cases (in any visible
collection, or in no collection at all), the bone visibility is
determined by its own 'hidden' flag.
- For now, bone collections cannot be nested; they are a flat list just
like bone groups were. Nestability of bone collections is intended to
be implemented in a later 4.x release.
- Since bone collections are defined on the armature, they can be used
from both pose mode and edit mode.
Versioning converts bone groups and armature layers to new bone
collections. Layers that do not contain any bones are skipped. The old
data structures remain in DNA and are unaltered, for limited forward
compatibility. That way at least a save with Blender 4.0 will not
immediately erase the bone group and armature layers and their bone
assignments.
Shortcuts:
- M/Shift+M in pose/edit mode: move to collection (M) and add to
collection (shift+M). This works similar to the M/Shift+M menus for
objects & scene collections.
- Ctrl+G in pose mode shows a port of the old 'bone groups' menu. This
is likely to be removed in the near future, as the functionality
overlaps with the M/Shift+M menus.
This is the first commit of a series; the bone collections feature will
be improved before the Blender 4.0 release. See #108941 for more info.
Pull request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/109976
Move control over the color of bones from bone groups to the bones
themselves. Instead of using bone groups (which are defined on the pose,
and thus owned by the object), the color is stored on:
- the bone (`struct Bone`, or RNA `armature.bones['bone_name'].color`)
- a possible override on the pose bone (`struct bPoseChannel`, or RNA
`ob.pose.bones['bone_name'].color`).
When the pose bone is set to its default color, the color is determined
by the armature bone. In armature edit mode, the armature bone colors
are always used, as then the pose data is unavailable.
Versioning code converts bone group colors to bone colors. If the
Armature has a single user, the group color is stored on the bones
directly. If it has multiple users, the group colors will be stored on
the pose bones instead.
The bone group color is not removed from DNA for forward compatibility,
that is, to avoid immediate dataloss when saving a 3.6 file with 4.0.
This is part of the replacement of bone groups & armature layers with
bone collections. See the design task at #108941.

Move Auto-Offset toggle from Node Editor View menu
into the Editing > Node Editor section of User Preferences,
to reflect its use as a workflow option not configured
per editor or per file.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/111589
Adds a userpref toggle for the edit mode overlays fresnel.
The edit mode fresnel is only a bit useful in edge cases, like
very dense photogrametry, and the problem is that it causes
more eye strain when modeling for many hours. And it's
benefit on shape readability is small compared to it's negative
impact on selection visibility. It makes the selection color to a
darker less saturated color instead of the theme color, which
leads to worse contrast between the selection and the mesh
or with the background, and also makes the unselected (black)
brighter, also reducing contrast. So it's off by default.

When creating a new main window, the `context.object` attribute wouldn't
exist, causing an error message to be printed.
Rather than checking if the attribute extists, query the mode from
context directly (this is always available), rather than querying it
through the active object.
This was hard coded to 8, which can still result in a number that
jitters making the overall FPS difficult to measure.
The default is still 8, but this is now a preference that can be
increased for values that don't jitter as much.
Since the 5e1470d1b3eb / 0f51b5b599bb the `fmodifier_add` operator has
moved to the Channel menu in the Graph Editor and also the channels
context menu in the channels region. The shortcut was not working in the
channels region though since the operator was only in the keymap for the
main region (not the channels region).
Now move the keymap entry to the generic keymap of the Graph Editor so
it works in both regions.

This PR adds an initial set of nodes using the new rotation socket.
6 nodes build rotations or convert them to other formats, a 7th rotates
a vector with a rotation, and the last inverts rotations.
The design task #109965 describes the choice to use separate nodes
for the rotation construction and separation operations. In the future,
a "Switch Node" operator (#111438) will help to make working with
these separated nodes faster.
- **Axis Angle to Rotation**
- **Rotation to Axis Angle**
- **Combine Quaternion**
- **Separate Quaternion**
- **Euler to Rotation**
- **Rotation to Euler**
- **Rotate Vector**
- **Invert Rotation**

Refactor the Add menu in the Compositor, with manually created menus,
inspired by Geometry Nodes.
Minor sorting adjustments by splitting categories in groups, with
separators in between groups, and sorted alphabetically. Compositor
node group assets are also populated in the menus.
This is the first part of the re-organization of the Add menu project,
proposal coming in another patch after this.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/111282
Instead of putting all the tool specific nodes (inputs, operations, etc)
in a single menu, use the existing categories. This is similar to how
the shader editor shows nodes depending on which render engine
is enabled. It's also more scalable for when more tool-specific nodes
are added.

I discussed this with Pablo on Tuesday-- it came up when we talked
about the organization of the compositor add menu.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/111449
Since these are operations rather than new nodes, they don't make
sense in the add menu. They are also available in the "Node" menu
in the editor's header and in the context menu.
This makes the asset shelf available as a standard, non-experimental
feature. Currently no script makes use of it, so it will still not be
available. However the pose library will be updated to use this for its
UI instead.
Initially the asset shelf was committed as experimental feature, even
though it seemed ready for non-experimental. After double checking with
some people (Dalai and Brecht) we decided to go ahead with this.
There are still some futher changes planned, see #107881.
Specifying the correct operator context (`INVOKE_REGION_CHANNELS` in
this case) is mandatory, otherwise looking up the shortcut in
`wm_keymap_item_find_props` will fetch the wrong region
(`RGN_TYPE_WINDOW` not `RGN_TYPE_CHANNELS`) and thus wont find the keymap
item in that region keymap.
This was already done for the other menus, not for the context menu
though.

This is in prevision of EEVEE panoramic projection support.
EEVEE-Next is planned to add support for these parameters.
Not having these parameters in Blender DNA will make Cycles
and EEVEE not share the same parameters and will be confusing
for the user.
We handle forward compatibility by still writing the parameters
as ID properties as previous cycles versions expect.
Since this change will break the API compatibility it is crucial
to make it for the 4.0 release.

On a user level this view transform provides much better handling of colors in
the over-exposed areas.
With this configuration the following display devices are available, including
AgX view transform for them:
* sRGB
* Display P3
* Rec.1886
* Rec.2020
NOTE: There is no Filmic view transform available for the newly added display
devices.
AgX also brings an implementation of False Colors view transform, which replaces
Filmic-based, and is available for all display devices.
The backward compatibility is preserved. The new files will default to AgX view
transform, which makes it non-forward compatible.
More technical details is available in the original PR #106355.
Please note that the PR has been split into more incremental changes when
was landing.

Fix some remaining consistency issues for selection shortcuts for both
left and right click select.
Based on design of #105298
Grease Pencil:
Instead of using `Alt Select` shortcuts for selecting whole strokes,
these are now following existing standards with `L` and `Shift L` from
select linked pick operations.
`Alt Select` keys are instead used for selecting individual components
in modes that use brushes just like [0].
Regular selection like `Select` and `Shift Select` are now always mapped
to ensure that all keymap configurations are able to select individual
components in every mode.
This does not cause conflicting behavior with brushes.
Lasso Select shortcuts on `Ctrl Alt` and `Shift Ctrl Alt` have been
removed. These were duplicates and are not needed.
Mesh Sculpt Mode:
Mesh sculpt mode uses correct lasso masking shortcuts in both right and
left click select. These are now the same as lasso selection shortcuts
in other modes.

Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
The changes in this keymap are much more involved.
If any shortcut isn't mentioned, that means it is unchanged.
General:
- All brush shortcuts have been removed for free custom mapping
- `S` & `U` are now consistently mapped for Brush size & strength
- Redundant shortcuts have been removed such as

- Select Alternate in GP
- Quadriflow Remesh (In Mesh Sculpt Mode)
- Box Hide (In Mesh Sculpt Mode)
- Dynamic Topology Toggle (In Mesh Sculpt Mode)
- Mask Overlay (In Mesh Sculpt Mode)
- Removed Lasso Mask/Select shortcuts (This keymap is mainly using the Tools instead. Easy to add back if needed.)
Mode Switching (Global change):
Easier mode switching access for any workflow.
- `123` = switch selection/mask modes for the **current mode**. If in object mode, it will first switch to edit mode (Previously this would always switch to edit mode)
- `4` = Mode switching pie menu (previously `4-7` for individual modes)
- `Tilde` = Transfer Mode (Previously not mapped. Useful for instant object switching while keeping the current mode)
- `5-0` = Unassigned
Brush vs Selection:
Multiple Modes were missing these shortcuts.
- `Shift` `LMB` = Smooth Brush
- `Ctrl` `LMB` = Inverted Brush
- `Shift` `Alt` `LMB` = Set Selection
- `Shift` `Alt` `Ctrl` `LMB` = Toggle-Extend Selection
Brush Size vs Select Linked:
These were previously in direct conflict. Now they are both distinct and based on other DCC software.
- `[` = Decrease Brush Size
- `]` = Increase Brush Size
- `Alt` `dbl LMB` = Select Linked Pick
- `Ctrl` `Alt` `dbl LMB` = Deselect Linked Pick
- `Ctrl` `L` = Select Linked
Select & Mask:
- `Q` = Cycle Masking/Selection Tools
- `Ctrl` `A` = Mask/Select Pie Menu (Draw, Paint, Sculpt Modes)
- `Alt` `A` = Auto-Masking Pie Menu (Mesh & GP Sculpt Mode)
- `Shift A` = Expand Mask (Mesh Sculpt Mode) / Grow Selection (Curve Sculpt Mode)
- `Shift` `Alt` `A` = Expand Mask by Normals (Mesh Sculpt Mode)
Face Sets & Visibility:
Previously missing shortcuts.
- `Shift` `W` = Face Set Expand
- `Shift` `Alt` `W` = Active Face Set Expand
- `Ctrl` `W` = Face Set Edit Pie Menu
- `Page Up` = Grow Active Face Set
- `Page Down` = Shrink Active Face Set
- `H` = Hide Active Face Set
- `Shift` `H` = Hide Inactive Face Sets / Show everything
- `Ctrl` `H` = Hide Masked Geometry
Transforming:
For Sculpt and Weight Painting modes. Previously missing
- `C` = Cursor Tool
- `W` = Move Tool
- `E` = Rotate Tool
- `R` = Scale Tool
- `T` = Transform Tool
- `Shift` `RMB` = Set Cursor / Set Transform Pivot in Sculpt Mode
Sculpting:
Consistent and easier to access shortcuts for remeshing and subdiv level .
- `Shift` `D` = Subdivision level Down (Previously on `Pg Down`)
- `D` = Subdivision level Up (Previously on `Pg Up`)
- `Shift` `Ctrl` `D` = Voxel Size / Dyntopo Size
- `Ctrl` `D` = Voxel Remesh / Dyntopo Flood Fill
Adding missing shortcuts
Painting:
Fixing various missing or inconsistent shortcuts.
- `Backspace` = Set Color/Weight
- `I` = Sample Color/Weight
- `Alt` `I` = Sample Vertex Group
- `Alt` `Ctrl` `I` = Vertex Group Lock Pie
- `X` = Swap Colors (Previously missing in Sculpt Mode)
Grease Pencil:
Adding many missing shortcuts.
- `Shift S` = Animation Menu (Previously on `I` and missing outside of Draw Mode)
- `Shift` `Alt` `S` = Insert Blank Keyframe
- `Alt` `H` = Unhide Layers
- `Ctrl` `H` = Hide Active Layer
- `Shift` H = Hide Inactive Layers
- `Y` = Active Layer Menu
- `Shift` `Y` = Merge Layer Down
- `Alt` `Y` = Material Menu
- `Alt` `Backspace`/`Delete` = Delete Active Keyframe (Previously on `D` `Backspace`/`Delete`)
Other:
Adding missing shortcuts.
- `MMB` for panning in the User Interface (Highly requested)
- `Shift F` = Center View to Mouse (Replacing Frame Selected(All Regions) shortcut)
- `D` = Annotate
- `L` = Toggle Stabilize Stroke (Previously on `Shift` `S`)
- `Ctrl F` = Weight radial control in weight painting modes

The `BPy_IDPropertyUIManager` takes different keywords for different
data types in its `update` methods.
Booleans and Strings only handle defaults and description while Floats
and Ints can handle additional stuff like min/max.
(see `idprop_ui_data_update_string` vs. e.g.
`idprop_ui_data_update_float`)
There was a different code path in `rna_idprop_ui_create` for bools
already (only passing a subset to `update`), now use this for string as
well since it matches.
Bug introduced in 8b9a3b94fc.
Probably good for LTS.
