Hello.
If you want to get the number of selected elements in Mesh Edit Mode, use bmesh. However, I thought it would be tedious to write that process every time, so I created a function called get_mesh_selection.
Put this file in “pie_menu_editor\scripts\autorun”. Then restart Blender. (Restart your PC if necessary)
You can use it as gms() in the Pie Menu Editor.
This function returns a tuple of the number of currently selected vertices, edges, and faces. Your idea can be realized this way.
s = gms(); msm = C.tool_settings.mesh_select_mode; O.mesh.merge(type='CENTER') if msm[0] and s[0] == 2 else O.mesh.knife_tool('INVOKE_DEFAULT') if msm[0] and s[0] == 0 else None
Of course, this is a demonstration, so you can arrange it however you like; you can also look up gms() and mesh_select_mode[0] in the Poll method.
