EditMenuExtension

class omni.kit.menu.edit.scripts.edit.EditMenuExtension

Bases: IExt

A class for extending the edit menu functionality within an application.

This class provides mechanisms to manipulate the edit menu by adding, organizing, and handling actions related to selection, duplication, deletion, and other common editing tasks for prims in a USD stage. It integrates with various parts of the application to provide contextual actions based on the current selection, stage events, and user preferences.

The extension supports customization of the edit menu, context menu integration, and responds to stage selection changes to update available actions dynamically. It also includes functionality to manage selection sets, recent selections, and provides utilities for renaming, deactivating, or capturing screenshots of prims.
