Hmmm.  Cybermonk, is there a way to customize hotkeys to toggle the selection of verts, edges, or faces directly?  For example, in 3dsmax, the hotkeys for each sub-element are, by default, mapped to the number keys of the keyboard.  NOT the numpad numbers, but the 1-9,0 at the top of the keyboard.  1=Vert selection, 2=Edge selection, 3=Border Edge selection (open face edges), 4=Faces, and 5=Individual Elements, or unwelded object islands.  There's only three selection options in Blender, but it would be much faster and more convenient if we could just toggle between them quickly, from a keyboard hotkey, instead of a hotkey to bring up a menu to pick one.  After a while, and during a major project, that does become tiresome.

Same thing with the DELETE function.  Blender constantly asks me, through a flyout menu, if I want to delete.  Whenever I press Delete on keyboard, or X, I get a menu asking "Delete?".  Can we not bypass that?  If I'm pressing delete, I just want to delete.  I dont want to click a confirmation.  If I make a mistake, I'll just CTRL-Z it.  There MUST be a way to disable all of these menus.  Another example:  when I wish to open a New scene.  I go to New in the file menu, and then I have to click another flyout menu saying "Reset Startup File".  I wish it would just do it, without the prompts.

Maxxx, this is an issue which the Blender community is aware of, and is being considered, just so you know: https://developer.blender.org/T37422

And several threads on the subject in various Blender forums:

There are python scripts for Blender which allow deletion of objects directly, without prompts or warnings.  I haven't seen any which bypass the menus for deleting sub-elements, which I would find more useful.  However, I'm sure this will be something addressed in future releases.  It's definitely an important issue; especially as more users from outside applications move with interest in learning the package.
