Shading + Pie Menu

A revamped version of Blender's default Shading pie (Z shortcut) with some handy shortcuts and features:

Quickly switch between different shading views: Material, Wireframe, EEVEE, Cycles, Solid* and Workbench**

*Solid Shading: quickly switch between different Viewport shading configurations and matcaps:
- Default: Blender's default Solid shading preset
- Cell: Flat shading with shadows and outline enabled, ideal for non-destructive toon-shading, particularly powerful used in Rendered Shading - Workbench**
- Alias 1, 2, 3 and 4: Shortcuts to Alias's most used shaders
- Red 1, Red 2, Fuel: other great Matcaps for hard surface modelers
- User 1: custom profile that you can change as you wish

** Workbench: in Solid Shading, Blender uses a third engine called Workbench. The downside is that you cannot render it or use the compositor while in Solid Shading. Clicking on "Workbench" will essentially throw you to Rendered Shading with the Workbench engine from Solid Shading enabled. Combined with the viewport compositor, it unlocks a lot of possibilities.
Studiolight/World: quickly switch between Blender's built-in HDRIs and your world HDRI
Compositor: Work in progress
