How to use

mel

rush2;

python

from maya import cmds
cmds.rush2()

You can open the hotkey editor and assign the command to any key you want.

How to add commands

It's easy to add your own commands. Just create new python file in the module directory or open existing module files, and add functions to them. Once you added functions, you have to add additional dict data which key is a command name(function name) and value is icon path. Icon paths can be maya's default icon names or absolute paths if you have your own icons.

Take a look 'sample.py'

commandDict = {}

def sampleCommand():
    print "Hello World"

commandDict['sampleCommand'] = "sphere.png"

Once you added your commands, make sure to reload the plugin.

Your command should be ready.

Quick access to your modules

Use "openRushModules" command

Command history

Use down arrow key in a black field to show recently used commands.

Additional module directory

You can use additional module directories by adding rush.json in your maya script directory.

For example,

C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\maya\2018\scripts\rush.json
(Make sure it's script directory under the version number directory)

rush.json

{
    "path": [
        "C:/Users/MYNAME/Dropbox/dev/maya/rushModule",
        "C:/or/wherever/you/want
    ]
}
