The menu entries for Loop Cut/Slide Edges seems to be missing. Just exists in the Smart Tips. There`s no entry in the Geometry menu. And there`s no entry in the Visual Tools toolbar.

The "Loop Cut/Slide Edges" is a Streamline tool that currently consists of 3 basic streamline tools and one command/redirect.
The main command/redirect is the "Loop insert", which is in the visual tools and the Geometry drop down, the 3 basic streamline tools are adding some of the functionality of the options of the "Loop insert" tool, without the need to actually set the options.

I see. Phew, sounds pretty complicated to divide the "normal" tools from the "streamline" tools at the moment. Maybe a good idea to create something like a streamline tools menu, where the self made things gets added :)

Thanks steve :)

I currently add all the streamline tools to the "SmartTips" menu.

Which gets mixed as a simple list of available hotkeys very easily. And can be hidden and removed :)

Was just an idea :)

though a big point of the streamline tools is that they mostly use sticky keys, and mouse combinations, so most dont work as well from a menu as the would from a key.

Although I use the SmartTips menu mainly as a reference as to what hotkeys are set, you can use(select from) that menu, as selecting from that menu does make the Streamline tools stick(remain active), so the mouse clicks[for the selected tool] are active until you quit the tool, it was a recent update.

If the streamline tools is not activated through hotkeys, eg. from 'SmartTips', from 'Tool Search', from 'Radial Menu' RMB+NoKeys, it won't be sticky. But, the 'NMB' function and the 'On Tapped' event will not work. As I think that makes sense.
