Hi,
I come from Modo where you press a lot of space during basically what ever you do since it acts as “accept action”. My hand is kind of used to pressing space a lot so I wish I could make use of it more with Blender.
I wonder if anyone here has repurposed spacebar into something useful? Maybe there is addon that would add a pie menu or something else. Just curious to hear if you have find good uses for it.
One thing built in you can do…
Edit Menu > Preferences > Keymap. There are three options you can set for the spacebar to use.
And yes - you can set it to use a pie menu, you can make your own new pie menu & make spacebar the hotkey. But be careful because it is used in lots of operations.
Go into Preferences > Keymap and click Key Binding, then type spacebar into the Search box. Press enter so you can scroll through the results. Some things do use it to confirm like Modo.
Remember Blender is very “Modal”. So spacebar is in use during modes of operation. If you alter what it is doing you may need to alter many tools.
Agreed. I spent quite a bit of time trying to make blender hot keys be something I was remotely used to, and finally just customized the camera view for the mouse and left everything else the way it was.
There’s a bunch of commands keys you can freely delete, but trying to change too many things will take you down a rabbit hole of anger and frustration.
