Blender 2.8 Shortcut Keys

[Pages:9]Blender 2.8 Shortcut Keys Cheat Sheet

Blender is a vast multi-purpose program designed to do some very complex things. Luckily for us the creators simplified the interface and squeezed most commands into shortcut key and mouse button combinations. Granted there is a steep learning curve but once mastered you'll wonder what all the fuss was about. The secret to mastering (at least the most common ones) is to practice! Start a project for yourself and start Blending! Here are some useful settings I like to change but feel free to use the defaults. Go to Edit ? Preferences ? Navigation: Put a check mark in "Zoom to mouse position" This lets you zoom to the position of the cursor on screen in the 3D view. Put a check mark in "Orbit around selection" This lets you rotate around the selected object in the 3D view

In the bottom left corner click the three line icon and ensure "Auto-save preferences" is checked. This will save any changes you make.

Essentials:

It is recommended, and to get full interface integration use a three button mouse, preferably with a scroll wheel as the centre button.

Blender will work most efficiently for you with one hand on your three button mouse and the other on a keyboard. Below are some of the most commonly used short cut key combinations.

Abbreviations: LLB (Left Mouse Button), MMB (Middle Mouse Button), RMB (Right Mouse Button).

In most instances select with LMB and cancel with RMB.

Usually when you buy a new high tech product you unpack it, then straight away open the user manual and read it as you try out all the buttons! Yeah more like "what? there's a manual?". The best way I found to learn new keys in Blender has been to try out every combination listed below. Just open up Blender and start working through them a couple of times, you'll be amazed at what you discover.

These are the shortcut keys I use regularly and are by no means a complete list and I'm sure there are some great ones I have yet to discover.
