Blender Adict?

General Forums Off-topic Chat
1

I just wonder how many persons who have started to do stupid things with their computer because they are using blender.

My two most obvious things I have started to do is:

  • Trying to shake the menus away with my mouse
  • Using the B-Key to select my units in Star Craft
2

Quite normal!

Here’s what I sometimes did:

  • Tried to rotate view when working in a 2D-package (a painting, textures etc.)
  • Sometimes press TAB to enter editmode in text-editors (LOL!!)

And one I keep doing ALL the time…

…I keep pressing the Blender Icon as the first choice of starting any program
simply because Blender is my MAJOR application. Even when I plan to play an
online-game… I press the Blender icon first… Dang… weird…

And many more :slight_smile:

You’re fast lemmy, I was about to send that link too :slight_smile:

The thread Lemmy dragged up had some astounding insights into the future…

How very true that one turned out to be.

Hmmmm, crystal balls perhaps? IOR 1.74

Chimp

I constantly do the ctrl-z motion for everything.
I also sometimes press the spacebar in hopes of a toolbox.

8

I press F12 often in Illustrator and InDesign… i dont even really know why… when I want to look at what I’m doing, I just instinctively press F12

I also hit Shift+Backspace to clear text fields. (Those are keys that I think should be in ALL applications: pure genius.)

I occasionally try to select with right mouse too.

I kept pressing F1 to open a file in Photoshop. After doing that a couple of times, I just edited the Hotkeys and switched Open File from CNTRL + O to F1. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, the CNTRL + W to save thing has gotten me too. Wonder whos idea it was to make Blender save with that hot key when all the other apps close docs with it. :expressionless:

10

[ctrl]+[s] saves in Blender too. :wink:

11

I click Blender icon when I really wanted to click Firefox (yes i got rid of stupid Netscape)

  • When I use photoshop I press G to move my pictures
  • When I want to open a application and I talk to someone over TeamSpeak I open sometimes accidently Blender, while it’s totally somewhere else :stuck_out_tongue:
13

blender is becoming more and more standardised in keys (such as Ctrl+z for undo)

so these things will soon go away i hope.

Alltaken

alt+p/F12 in the IDE for Python

Rightlick- to slectect points in Photoshop and then pressing f-key for no reason (which does fullscreen =_=) and pressing s-key to scale.

15

i press f12 all the time when i go to take a screenshot

16

ok, even if this topic has been done b4, it’s always fun…
Blender and photoshop is a bad combination.
i can really mess up ur picture if u use some blender shortcuts.

17

i try to select all sort of things with RMB… :S
But now i use the hotkeys in other programs 10 times more than before i used blender, so blender is not so bad :slight_smile:

Haha. So far I am a victim of almost all of these, but the biggest one is this:

My friend told me he had a new girl friend and showed me a picture. She resembled a less tan version of Jenifer Aniston. I replied with, “Yeah right dude, show me the wire!”

I use that phrase a lot. I wish more of my friends were into Blender s I could sound cool.
