Agree that its a bad precedent to support multiple common key assignments to the same operator just to make people who are used to each feel comfortable. It would be like adding: * Ctrl+Insert copy * Shift-Delete cut * Shift-Insert paste Alongside Ctrl+C/X/V. Isn't the reason we have an editable

Yank (ctrl-y) is an extremely old keyboard standard. TECO was using it in the early 70s. Blender has enough trouble with an out-of-step UI already without removing one point where it is in line with normal software. I think if it has to be one or the other then it should be what the rest of the

This is again question of locale problems in blender and again you are looking on this only from one point of view - as users of standard US keyboard layout. I use keyboard that has Z in place of Y and Y in place of Z. While hitting Ctrl+Z is easy, hitting Ctrl+Shift+Z i quite tedious to reach with

Again, as I've said, CTRL+SHIFT+Z is perfect for standard US keyboard users. For the rest of us (or at least users of QWERTZ) it's not. But according your responses I see that we'll have to change that individually. P.S. I don't think that Adobe is an example of standardisation. Although it uses

Blender is designed exclusively for US keyboard? Does that mean that Blender will never support non English diacritic sings as ČĆŽŠĐ? On 17 April 2011 10:32, Matt Ebb wrote: > On Sun, Apr 17, 2011 at 5:37 PM, Damir Prebeg wrote: >> Again, as I've said, CTRL+SHIFT+Z is perfect for standard US key

I didn't say exclusively, I said as a lowest common denominator. Like I said, no shortcut setup will work on every keyboard layout, so you have to pick *something* to optimise for. A US keyboard is probably most common so that's what it is. Of course there are now customisable shortcuts so you can

Thanks. Actually, my friend has already started to work on some theme modifications so I'll suggest him that we make a bundle, theme and QWERTZ keyboard layout. Not related to shortcuts, but I really hope that blender will start to support our diacritics. Better sooner than later :D On 17 April 20

As a tutorial maker and i have to stick with the defaults because that is the only reliable way to go. (Forcing users to install a customized interface to rework the tutorials would be very wrong in my opinion) I agree that aligning blender to other tools in the same market is a good decision. On

I'm not inclined to see Maya et. al. as THE MARKET. I think the 3D virtual reality environments are probably already a larger market for Blender, if a currently largely invisible one. Certainly, if Blender is to ever have a really huge user base it will be in the Metaverse. This is the place whe
