It's no secret that Blender has a lot of shortcuts. Some are easy to remember - like repeating the last action: Shift+R.
And others just make you say 'Really??' - like changing the origin point: Ctrl + Shift + Alt + C
Some say that Blender's shortcut heavy workflow stops new users from learning faster. Which I agree to a point, but I also understand why they're used. Because when you know them you can work a lot faster than someone without them.
In 2010 I wrote the first keyboard shortcut guide, which was downloaded about 80,000 times. Blender's changed a lot since then, and so it's time for an upgrade!

Important note: the ever changing nature of Blender's development means features can be arbitrarily updated so shortcut keys may be mapped to different functions or be in different locations version to version - this is especially true of Blender 2.50, up to and included, the latest versions. The following is a list of useful keyboard shortcuts, commands and features for Blender, handy to. Operating system: Mac OS Mojave (10.14.4) Graphics card: Radeon Pro 450, 2GB. Blender Version Broken: 2.80 (sub 64), branch: blender2.7, commit date: 2019-05-13 22:40, hash: f070bdd7c9c4, type: Release build date: 2019-05-14, 02:10:34. Overview The Mac OS Blender shortcuts for Toggle Quad View appear to clash with system shortcuts to quit the.
Blender's default keymap has two main interaction modes: Right- and left-click-select. In the past, Blender has used right-click-select to have a more clear distinction between selection and action. In this mode, the RMB (Right Mouse Button) is generally used for selection and the LMB (Left Mouse Button) initiates or confirms actions. One of the novelties in Blender 2.8 was certainly the user interface, where attempts were made to sort and rationalize all the features that were added in previous versions. As a result, the shortcuts were also reorganized (the famous keyboard shortcuts in Blender) with a new mapping, but offering both the ability to keep one still compatible with Blender 2.7x and to choose a keymap similar to.
So it's been completely rewritten. I first compiled a list of shortcuts I thought were useful, then and got feedback from others via twitter. I curated everyone's responses and rewrote the entire shortcut guide from scratch.

Blender is a comprehensive and ever expanding application for making all manner of 3D content. Its power derives to a large extent from the way its functionality is accessible through the use of keyboard shortcuts and combinations. For the User this can be a challenge in terms of remembering what shortcut keys do what in Blender.

Important note: the ever changing nature of Blender's development means features can be arbitrarily updated so shortcut keys may be mapped to different functions or be in different locations version to version - this is especially true of Blender 2.50, up to and included, the latest versions.
The following is a list of useful keyboard shortcuts, commands and features for Blender, handy to keep to one side when modelling. Although the bias for the below is towards making content for games, either Blenders own internal Blender Game Engine or external third-party technologies, they are worth getting to know because there is a lot of commonality to most other types of content creation and will facilitate the User getting the most from Blender.

Design note: charts and references relate to common or frequently used actions in Blender so should not be regarded as a comprehensive list of shortcuts. Note also that triggers are context sensitive, the same key may function differently depending upon the Editor open or operation performed.
 Shortcut (hotkey) chart ^Basic (Standard UK) keyboard layout and hotkey map for Blender - N.B. some shortcut keys may be mapped differently depending on system language
Blender keyboard shortcut & hotkey map blank so you can chart your own key-combinations - standard keyboard layout based on UK language
Blender can do a lot of 'stuff' so having a chart of some sort to 'map' all those keyboard shortcuts would be handy, especially if it were printable. The following hotkey chart shows the basic shortcuts available for Blender. A blank version is also provided for 'custom' key mappings and mappings that differ based on system language.

MMB scroll Up/Down
 - Zoom 3D View and other Editors in/out
 - Scrolls misc. Control & Property panels up/down
Shift+MMB
 - Strafe/Translate viewport or editor left/right and up/down
Ctrl+MMB
 - Zoom 3D View and other Editors in/out
LEFT mouse button (LMB) LMB Click
 - Confirm or set an action or operation
LMB+hold+drag
 - Initiates & drags X, Y, & Z Widget handles in 3D View
Ctrl+LMB
 - Freestyle 'loop' Select

General Object/Element manipulation shortcut keys ^Basic manipulation shortcuts to 'Move', 'Rotate' and 'Scale' - these are universal shortcut keys in that they apply/are usable in most Editors, Windows or Control/Properties/Options Panels
G = free Translate/Manipulate (X, Y and Z to lock axis)
S = free Scale/Resize (X, Y and Z to lock axis)
R = free Rotate (X, Y and Z to lock axis) +Ctrl = Snaps to increment (^)
+Ctrl +Shift = Snaps to smaller increment (^)
+Shift = Slows movement (^)
+Shift +Ctrl = Snaps to smaller increments (^)
Design note: (^) indicates an action initiated after manipulator, i.e., press 'G' then 'Ctrl' etc., held down throughout activity/action.

General 3D View Orientation shortcut keys ^The 3D View and the orientation of Objects within can be controlled using the 'NumPad' keys - note default axis orientation is X/Y/Z ( left/right, front/back, up/down)
Design note: where Numpad keys are unavailable (laptop), in 'User Preferences' activate 'Emulate Numpad' under 'Input' options, forcing Blender to use the main numerical keys, 1 - 0, as alternatives. Enabling 'emulate' disables the normal 'layer selection' feature attributed to the same keys.
Home = re-centre 3D View (averaged on visible objects)
NumPad 0 = Camera Perspective
NumPad 1 = Front ortho (looking back)
Ctrl+NumPad 1 = Back ortho (looking forwards)
Shift+NumPad 1 = axis orientation to Z/X/Y (up/down, left/right, front/back)
NumPad 4/6, 2/8 = Roll scene left/right, up/down (relative to view left/right) [*]
NumPad 3 = Right ortho (looking left)
Ctrl+NumPad 3 = Left ortho (looking right)
Shift+NumPad 3 = axis orientation to Z/Y/X (up/down, front/back, left-right)
NumPad 5 = toggle Perspective/Orthographic
NumPad 7 = Top ortho (looking down)
Ctrl+NumPad 7 = Bottom ortho (looking up)
Shift+NumPad 7 = axis orientation to Y/X/Z (front/back, left/right, up/down)
NumPad / = Local/Global orientation
NumPad + = Zoom in
NumPad - = Zoom out
NumPad . = Focus on selection
Ctrl + NumPad 4/6, 2/8 = Strafe/Pan scene Left/Right, Up/Down [*]
Shift + NumPad 4/6 = Roll scene clockwise/anti-clockwise [*]
Design Note: items marked '*' above indicate schemas useful in instances where mouse or touch-pad control options are not available (but access to full keyboard layout is).
