Thanks, you were right. It works great now :slight_smile:

Does anyone know what the button has been changed to for right clicking the side toolbar in this keymap?
I canā€™t seem to get the default right-click default menu that allows you to delete layers etc.

Hi Blender and Rhino users,

today Blender 2.81 was released.

Iā€™ve updated my Blender keymap to Blender 2.81 to use Rhinos right mouse navigation. You can download it for free here: https://www.flexicad.com/download.php?list=183

Thanks

Michael

P.S.: Installation: In Blender 2.81 go to menu Edit/Preferencesā€¦ -> Keymap and import my keymap-file Mikes_Blender_281_Keymap_Rhino_Navigation.py

I constantly remind myself that I should try rendering in Blender - hasnā€™t happened yet. First step would be to install Blender. I installed the new 2.9 version and wanted to use the rhino keymap because the blender standard is pure toture for me. Looks like the settings have changed since 2.8, the keymap does not seem to work anymore.

@nathanletwory hope you will update the keymap to workl with 2.9, would be awesome!

Right, I havenā€™t checked the keymap in a while, even though I did create a .blend file today in 2.90.0 (create an annotated equirectangular hdr environment for debugging purposes).

Iā€™ll be hashing out some bugs first: an environment rotation bug, a multidevice support not updating raytraced results properly, and a crash bug, so that I am no longer Herbie. Then I can have a look at the keymap.

Feel free to have a go at it in the meantime!

Hi @hitenter,

Iā€™ve created your wished right mouse navigation keymap for Blender 2.9X:

Thanks so much for your keymap @Michael_Meyer Iā€™ve used it as my default keymap for 2 years now and it makes my constant transition between using Rhino & Blender seamless!

Just wanted to see if you or anyone else who uses your keymap has run into issues since using 2.9?

Iā€™ve recently upgraded to 2.93.5 and have noticed one of my most used commands which was the - holding down SHIFT to slow down the transform when moving/rotating/scaling an object no longer works ā€¦ :frowning: :frowning:

any help would be greatly appreciated cheers

Hi jcmv,

thank you for your praise.

you will find my Blender 29x keymap also here:

No idea, iā€™ve tested it now in Blender 2.93.4. Draging the viewports with Shift+RM seams to work. Hm?

BTW, itā€™s easy to make the right-middle-mouse swap in the keymap file, this is how it works. You could try this yourself, perhaps it fixes something with the latest files:

Good luck

Thanks for that @Michael_Meyer I tried inputting that to my keymap but still no luck unfortunatelyā€¦

it seems to work when I adjust it in the side panel using shift, just not in the actual viewport itself when I use the typical R, S and G shortcuts

Do you happen to know what the actual command/button would be called in the blender keymap settings? that way I can at least find if shift is actually assigned to it?

The operators you are looking for are transform.translate (Move), transform.rotate (Rotate), transform.resize (Resize) (the last one at least under Blender 3, I donā€™t recall if it is resize or scale under Blender 2.9x).

You want to look for the modal transform map for each of the keys, more specifically for the entries with precision.

Thanks for that @nathanletwory can always rely on your blender expertise, so I dug through all the key mappings on the ā€˜transform.translateā€™ etc. but the precision mode entries didnā€™t exist.

But I managed to find what seems like a universal ā€œtransform modal mapā€ on the first page of the keymap windowā€¦ only problem is now it wonā€™t let me set the key to shift as I assume itā€™s been set to something else, I noticed on your key mappings you have Left shift and Right shift whereas mine just enters as ā€œshiftā€ is there a way I can map this to just the left shift?

Hello Nathan,
Thanks for that cool kemap- I will try it out :slight_smile:

I it possible to do the same in Rhino?
-I mean to change the keymap for navigation etcā€¦ I canĀ“t find anything in the Rhino Optionsā€¦

In Rhino there is only limited possibilities for changing inputs.

How much is possible? I there a dokumentation on this?
Are there plans to make the keymaps more flexible?

Compared to Blender: not much. The documentation is at Rhinoceros Help

Not that I am aware of.

Is it just that there is no Interface exposed to the user to change keymaps / Navigation in Rhino,
could it be done via coding/scripting, or is it really hardcodedā€¦?

much of it is. The documentation I linked to shows you the bits you can customize. In comparison to Blender not much.

You could use autohotkey AHK to programm any hotkeys for any programm if you are on Windows

Another one where you can ā€˜reconfigureā€™ your keyboard and add lots of macro capabilities:
