cmds.rush()

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

For example,

from maya import cmds
cmds.rush()

from maya import cmds
cmds.rush(menu=True)

How to add commands

Commands can be added by editting/creating module files. For example, here is the templete script in the module directory.

class Commands(object):

    commandDict = {}

    def _sampleCommand(self):
        print "Hello World"
    commandDict['sampleCommand'] = "sphere.png"
    # ^ Don't forget to add the command to the dictionary.

To add new command, just add new method to the Command class. Make sure to add underscore at the begging of the method name. Then, add new key/item to the commandDict. Key is the command name without underscore, and the item is an icon path(relative or absolute)

1. Create a new file.

   

2. Copy and paste the code from template file and edit your command as you want.

   

3. Save the file, go back to maya, and run reload command.

   

4. You new command should be available in the completion.

   

5. Done.

   

Using custom module directory

You can choose any directories for you modules.
Create '.rushConfig' file in your home directory and paths line by line.

eg.

/Users/XXXXXXX/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/2015-x64/scripts/rush
/Users/XXXXXXX/Dropbox/dev/git/maya/extraModules
