Tab-Tab-G-X muscle memory is the difference between sculpting and menu-diving, and I wanted a way to actually build it instead of absorbing it over years. So I made CmdEnter: a web app that drills shortcuts like flashcards — situation → you hit the real keys → it checks you → graduate the deck when you can run it cold. Each move carries a one-line WHY.
The Blender deck is 83 moves across 7 levels — and it grows as people correct me. Level 1 is free in the browser, no account. Full decks are paid; pricing is on the site: cmdenter.app/decks/blender?ref=bartists
The deck is my curation and Blender’s shortcut culture is deep — modeling, sculpt, UV, compositor all pull different directions. What’s missing? What shouldn’t be drilled at all?
I have a handful of Pro codes for this thread. If you point out a shortcut I got wrong, missed, or shouldn’t be drilling, I’ll DM you one — that’s the most useful payment I can get right now. Mechanics, plainly: the code opens a 5-day full unlock that rolls into a monthly Pro subscription if you keep it; cancel inside the 5 days and you pay nothing.
You could correct it yourself, you know. All of the shortcuts can be exported as text and parsed easily. Or, if that’s too fancy, all of them are in the Blender documentation. Why should I help you do the work you don’t feel like doing for free so you can… sell my work to other people? Nah.
What I am doing was trying to engage the community in an interesting conversation over which shortcuts the community tends to use and starting a back and forth over what’s trending now. The hope is to help people who don’t have a ton of experience to learn which shortcuts are actually important to their workflow and to consider approaches to their work that they may not have. The point is to not find out what shortcuts are available. Clearly, that’s very easy, as you point out. The interest is in how people are using those shortcuts to develop their work. It’s unfortunate that you chose a path of defensiveness instead of helping others to learn. I’m sure you have a lot of experience to share with the community, and I hope this could be a fun dialogue to share what experienced people like you are doing in Blender. I hope you will share…the talent in this group is incredibly deep.
This might simple has started wrongly/ is on the wrong track/ someone or more was catched on the wrong foot.. or whatever the saying is..
To recruit some “testers” the “reward” to get some “Pro codes” might be not as promising as you might think..
In general for every app there is some documentation and they usually start with how to use the app.. and their shortcuts.. and everyone using any app has to learn this since the very first days of using of any computer and also with any physical tool. And for the ones which think it is too cumbersome to read the docs: the shortcuts are often (also in blender) shown in the menu entries. ..so:
Why do one need to pay you for something which everyone can do on their own ?
(or try the free “decks” )
Or.. why does one need one the Pro version (or the code as reward ) to learn about applications which one might do not even have or wants to try at all ??
Also: for me it’s seems to be the wrong way to learn shortcuts before not knowing what the tools are for.. i want to know waht some tool can do for me and then i learn it.. first learning the usage of tool and then “finding out” that it does not even fit’s my needs.. is a waste of time.
And:
When you graduate a deck, you’re finished with it. Pay once, own it — no streak hostage-taking.
What do one own here ?? Some site telling you: you know some shortcuts.. (but not how to use them or in what context ???).
Sounds like a “solution” in search of a problem. or rather, a service in search of customers.
I’ll forgive the vibe coded, obvious claude ui, but you really want to charge people access to this? And crowdsource the actual labor parts that you couldn’t get the LLM to generate for you, with the “generous” offer of a 5 day free trial that converts to a subscription for the lucky few?
If it were free, you might be able to get a few users interested, but to charge right out of the gate for uncooked vibes is wild.
If you actually wanted this to succeed, you would learn how the enshittification business model works: hook a customer base with a low barriers to entry, then gradually ratchet up the pricing, paywall key features, etc.
As it stands now, you’ve burnt the people that you most want to be customers, so you might need to go back to the drawing board for a fresh scam.
Maybe try dropshipping garbage trinkets for a while til you level up your scam game.
