(i'd rather not go through the Tab search list or up to the tool shelf for every extrude)
Hold down C, swipe the mouse up three times, let go of C. The radial menu is quite enjoyable to use, I like it a lot. Some other aspects of the modeling experience on the other hand... not so much.

Do you think they will publish a sneak peek of the new features before the launch event?

It's customary for SideFX to publish a "trailer-ish" video in the days leading up to the launch presentation. I would guess there's one coming this week.

Would this also mean support for nodes that aren't Material X? That would be awesome!

I don't think it would because of the quote from Materialx documentation [www.sidefx.com]:

MaterialX shading networks are designed to be portable between applications and renderers.

Because Karma XPU will never support the traditional VEX-based shaders used by Mantra and Karma CPU, MaterialX is probably the future of writing shaders for the Karma renderer.

Maybe they are going the classic product launch way, with event first and later the sneakpeek as a launch event short recap. Soon enough we will see anyway

I vastly prefer this route. When they did a "sneak peek" video for H19, that clip showed pretty much everything from the presentation, and made the presentation feel a bit weak. Not the release, mind you, because 19 is an amazing update, but the excitement from watching the presentation itself was definitely deflated somewhat.

Me too. Maybe the release is not exciting enough to have a sneak peak?

Ugh....that would be really sad. Did SideFX get bought out by Maxon?
