Screencast-Keys VS blender-cod

3) Install Screencast Keys by going to Preferences => Addons => Install and select the zip. Enable the addon, hit N on the viewport and on the right tab, enable it using the checkmark at the top. Right click and check what input Blender registers on the bottom left.

Are you clicking anything after S? You can try something like https://github.com/nutti/Screencast-Keys to verify. When you press S you should be in scale mode, then Z while in scale mode sets the scale axis to Z. If you exit scale mode before pressing Z, the behavior is what you're describing with the radial menu.

This is the latest version of the Screencast-Keys addon I'm aware of and it definitely works in Blender v3.1: https://github.com/nutti/Screencast-Keys/releases/tag/v3.7

https://github.com/nutti/Screencast-Keys afaik.

Yeh, I'm sorry, I seem to be confused and this addon is not built into the blender. It's just that I've had it for a very long time and I forgot :)Anyway, Blender Guru uses this addon: https://github.com/nutti/Screencast-Keys

Next, download the Blender install version from here: https://github.com/nutti/Screencast-Keys/releases/tag/v3.5 and install it from the zip file. Do not unzip anything.

Did you use this addon for importing xmodels to Blender?

if it is this project: https://github.com/CoDEmanX/blender-cod, you might have to change branches and download. Looks like the master branch hasn't been updated in several years. Presumably you want the branch blender_29. You should be able to download the code and package it yourself if you know how (I don't. It might just be taking the zip file but I'm not sure)
