![]() If you don't learn the shortcut you probably don't use it enough to need to." I'm in total agreement with you on that and I think I'll get used to changes like C for circle select instead of B-B (I'll be using a fair bit to start with!). " The cool thing about the menus is that if use a command a lot you'll learn the short cut by repetition. I just tried both addons, and the Dynamic Space Bar is definitely one I'll be using. However, currently you need to enable them manually in the addon preferences, and then get used to the new workflow they provide.Ĭybermonk: Thanks for the suggestions. I do believe at some point in future releases, these addons will be automated upon installation, and included as part of the default UI configuration, as more and more new users are discovering their benefit. However, I must warn that they will change the default shortcut configuration, and some long-time Blender devotees do not use them in their tutorials. I've seen great enhancements in my own personal workflow since using these addons.

The cool thing about the menus is that if use a command a lot you'll learn the short cut by repetition. Finally there is the alignment menu which. As for aligning things the Dynamic Space bar, has a Transform menu (adjust the origin of an object), a Snap menu, lets you snap the cursor to elements or elements to the cursor. You can adjust the size of your circle with the mouse scroll wheel or the plus or minus on the Numpad. As for the selection mode B is box select and C lets you paint your selection. You can add or change the short cut by right clicking the menu command and then hitting the key you want. When you bring up these menus and their sub-menus you can see (on the right side) the short cut if there is any. With these when you hit tab it will let you select the mode you are in and the space bar will bring up menus relevant to the mode you are in. I would strongly advise to turn on the Dynamic Space Bar addon and the Pie Menus addon. Regarding the link - using URL character encoding works, i.e. I also noticed the Import/Export Key Configurations button, which I guess is why I asked if there's an easy way - I was hoping that there might already be a Blender 2.49b keyboard configuration file somewhere that I could just download and import. If I set C as the hotkey for "centre view on cursor", what happens to the hotkey for "circle select" which is by default C ? (I think uncertainty about this is another reason that I stuck to the 2.4# defaults) i'm very used to 2.49b and continue to use it along 2.6x for functions that are not there in 2.6x." makes me wonder exactly which functions no longer exist.Īnother thought just struck me. I'm also a bit troubled that he can't get B B to work for circle select (that's another hotkey I use a lot) - I tried it, and it's exactly as he says.Īnd the comment that ". Maybe I need to refer to the old 2.4# hotkeys reference sheet? So I'm not the only one then! :) And thanks, that does help a bit - although I think that knowing what to type into the search bar on the Input tab is half of the problem. *also available in ShareCG, DeviantArt, DAZ, and CGBytes flavours. The 3Dcheapskate* occasionally posts sensible stuff. but with the huge amount of available hotkeys I can't even find the functions I'm looking far. I've gone into the File > User Preferences > Input to try and change the ones I want. And my problem every time I've tried to use some of these in 2.5# or later is that they seem to have changed. I tend NOT to use hotkeys, preferring the menu selection method for doing most things (speed has never been that important to me, and the menu method gives my poor old brain time to keep up! o) But there are a small group of hotkeys that I have got used to - mainly those controling the viewport in edit mode. With the tutorial I'd learnt some of the basic hotkeys, and when I looked at the possibility of altering them to suit myself, and saw just how many hotkeys there were, I decided to leave them at their defaults. Suddenly a lot of the supposedly 'hard-to-learn' interface made sense: it seemed context-sensitive in a way no other application I'd used was, and there was a beautiful, self-consistent logic to it. I started using Blender at 2.4# when I followed a short, simple tutorial and the 'Blender mindset' (for want of a better word/phrase) suddenly 'clicked'. I know I said I couldn't be bothered, but here's a bit of the background anyway.
