This add-on replaces Ctrl+G by its own functionality - creating groups using regular instances
In the add-on "Group" - it is an instance, that can be edited (in the scene called "Library") by pressing Tab
Ctrl+G - Make Group (Instance) from selected objects (F9 (adjust last operation) to set center of the group and set a name)
Tab - Opens group edit mode
Deselect everything and press Tab - Return to scene.
Ctrl+Alt+G - Ungroup
Ctrl+Shift+G - Advanced options like make single user, and change instance (Replace chair by another chair).
This add-on uses regular Blender instances, so you can send your blend file with "groups" made by this add-on, even if your co-worker haven't this add-on installed.
WIP Edit in Place/Context: test & share your thoughts in the thread
Take a look at my other goods: Synchronize Workspaces | Folds Modifier | Parallax Node | Staircase Generator
Adds a warning message if something goes wrong when you press the Tab key.
Library Scene Not Found: If no library scene is created, pressing Tab will prompt you to create one by using Ctrl+G.
Instance Not in Library: If an instance isn't located within the Library scene, pressing Tab might indicate this error. You should move it to the library using Ctrl+Shift+G.
This may be necessary if the instance was created manually or copied from another file.
This extension does not require special permissions.
