how do i add a action/commad to a quadmenu
and make it sub-object mode specific

if i add an action/commad to a quadmenu rght now it show up all the time

i whould like to have some actions/commands only to show up when in
vertex sub-object mode and other actions/commands to only show up
when i am in polygon sub-object mode

so how do i do this
where can i find these actions/commands so i can add them to a quadmenu

editable-spline
*boolean
*intersection
*subtraction
*union

*selection center
*use pivot point center

selection filter
*all
*geometry
*spline
how do i create a script that cycles through these two
"selection center" "use pivot center"

and then how do i bind a hotkey to that script so
i can cycles through them by only tapping a hotkey
how do i add these three selection filters ("all" "geometry" "splines") to a quadmenu
and how do i create a script that cycles through those three selection filters

and then how do i bind a hotkey to that script so
i can cycles through them by only tapping a hotkey
how do i create a script that cycles through these two
"local coordinating system" "view coordinating system"
and then how do i bind a hotkey to that script so
i can cycles through them by only tapping a hotkey



i actually have this little bit code that dose what i want i it too i just dont know how to turn this
code in to a hotkey

here is the code

maniptype = toolMode.commandmode as string
varAxis = getRefCoordSys() as string

if varAxis == "world" or varAxis == "hybrid" then
(toolMode.coordsys #local)
else()
if varAxis == "local" then
(toolMode.coordsys #view)


i think this is what i am looking for


quadmenus that i bound to a specific sub-object mode "vertex", "edge", "polygon"
every sub-object specific quadmenu should then have commands/actions specific to that sub-object mode


one hotkey that cycles between "selection center" "use pivot center"
and other hotkey that cycles between "local coordinating system" "view coordinating system"
and other third hotkey that cycles between these three selection filters "all" "geometry" "splines
i also whould like to add "selection center" and "use pivot center" to a quadmenu


sorry for my crappy english
