I see it is still there in the right mouse click menu button popup, thank you.
I prefer the Mac (and it renders faster in MR), so "playing the piano" on multiple mouse buttons is never my first choice...
I have a user assigned hotkey to the f already - the basic mouse pointer tool actually, so I use it a lot.
It irks me that certain important actions aren't available directly in Maya without special mouse click actions: it already occurs in the layers menus also i.e."add selected objects" to the selected layer, and "assign material to selection" in Hypershade.
I can understand functionally why assigning a menu to setting the shader to selected objects is problematic because of the selection focus issue - mouseover data becomes irrelevant when you reach for a menu.
I guess whoever is heading up the UI team thinks burying REALLY important functionality within menus only visible with a right mouse button click is "good" interface design. Ugh.
Do you know if there is a way you can assign a keyboard shortcut to a popup menu in Maya? That would solve these issues for me as I am a real keyboard shortcut user, and if I could assign a custom keyboard shortcut to "add selected object to selected layer" and "reveal selected" and "assign shader the mouse is hovering over to selected objects" I wouldn't have to deal with navigating hierarchical hidden right mouse click menus?
