Installation
How is it done?
See the Installation guide and follow it precisely. Note the Blender version requirement.
It didn't work!

Attention
Note the Requirements in the installation guidf.
Make sure you are using the latest version.
Confirm you've followed the installation instructions.
General Information
To provide help, I need the following:
- Proof of Purchase
- system-info.txt
Please use the Get Support tool in the addon prefrences or the CURVEmachine sidebar panel to create the system-info.txt, and for further instructions in the README.html file.
Click it, it's hard to miss
Errors
If you are seeing an error, please send me a screenshot of the system console.
Just an screenshot of the error message popup usually lacks context and is not ideal.
Instead of sending a screenshot, you can also copy and paste the console text into the email.
Keep in mind
On Windows you can turn on the console from Windows > 'Toggle System Console'.
On Linux and MacOS, you need start Blender from a terminal.
I do not need an image of Blender's Info View and I don't need to see Blender's Python Console either.
If the error only occurs on a certain model, please attach the blend file as well.
Please remove any part of the model that doesn't contribute to the problem to keep the file size down.
Tool Misbehaviors
If you think that tool in CURVEmachine tool doesn't do, what it should, please send me the blend file where the issue occurs. Please remove any part of the model that doesn't contribute to the problem to keep the file size small, and save the file in a way that allows me to open it and immediately reproduce the issue.
Contact
Use eMail, not twitter, not youtube, not artstation, not blender market, and not the Blender Artists thread for reporting of errors.
Usage
They Y key does nothing. I can't get the menu to show up!
Are you in Edit Curve mode?
Do you see the Single Point Poly Curve in Blender's native Add Object - Curve menu?
If neither of these resolve you issue get support.
Can I Blendulate multiple points at the same time?
In version 1.0 you can not. Multi-point selections are intepreted as you wanting to edit an existing blend.
I will be looking into supporting Blendulating multiple points at the same time for the 1.1 release.
In the mean time, you can re-apply a previous Blendulate operation to a new selection, by ALT clicking on Blendulate in he menu.
Why can't I Blendulate the end Point of a cyclic Spline?
You may well be able to do this in version 1.1.
Until then, use the Gap Shuffle tool to move the cyclic gap to another location in the spline.
Why can't I remap the Slide tool?
To make the gg (double g) mapping possible for curve point sliding, while retaining the Blender native Translate tool with a single g press, I had to get creative.
CURVEmachine actually sets two keymaps for the slide keymap: One single g keymap, and a second gg keymap.
The first one then will actualy call the Slide tool, and will pass through to Blender's native Translate tool, unless it detects a second press of the g key.
Note
That means, you should not move the mouse or do anything else, between the double gg presss, if you want to slide.
The second gg keymap, is then only set, so it shows up in the CURVEmachine menu - instead of the single g keymap.
It's never actualy get called, as the single g press takes over before it can happen.
Why all this?
Because unlike with mesh editing, Blender's Translate tool does not offer the slide mode when editing curves. But using g for both: translating and sliding is very convenient, hence why this this solution in CURVEmachine exists.
So to answer the question, if you want to remap this, you need to edit the code in CURVEmachine/operators/transform.py.
