When I rst started using Blender in 2004, I remember feeling completely overwhelmed at the
amount of keyboard shortcuts.
Worst of all though, was that after looking online, I disovered there were no helpful guides that
explained which shortcuts were the most important.
So I decided to make one. I released the rst edition of this guide in 2009, and I’ve revamped it and
improved it, over the years to create the guide that you’re reading right now.
It’s designed to outline the most useful, most essentials shortcuts that pros use.
PS. It’s also printer friendly, so if you want, you can print it out and stick it to your wall! :)
Happy Blendering!
