You need to Unpack the Zip file first!
If you have nuke 13 or 14 please redownload it.

If you already have (menu.py) in your (.nuke) please add these lines to it

##
import nuke
import MM_Backdrop

ico = 'MMlogo.png'
m = nuke.menu('Nuke')
m.addCommand('&MM_Tools/MM_Backdrop', 'MM_Backdrop.MM _Backdrop()', shortcut='ctrl+ b', icon= ico)
##

If you did all that and faced any problem please feel free to contact me :)

Looks great in your demo. Simple & Comprehensive.

Hey Mike, After opening nuke, Do you see a new pulldown menu appeared in the top bar of nuke called (MM_Tools) ? If yes please Select your nodes then choose MM_Backdrop from this menu and see if works.

If it worked so the problem in shortcut with IOS
If there's no menu added basically, please let me know.

Mohammed, yes there is a Menu option.

Nodes selected, MM_Backdrop from menu:

invalid syntax (, line 1)

Hope this helps.

I've tried your new version, & it's still the same.
Running Python 3.7.6 in Nuke 13.2v5

I get this in my shell I launch Nuke from:

File "", line 1
MM_Backdrop.MM _Backdrop()
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
