V1.3 - Added in the additional keybinding for the new active tool handles in the UV Editor that were added in Blender 2.82. I had to recreate the startup.blend file with the new version of blender for it to appear because the old one was created within 2.80. Thanks to for the idea to fix it!Īnd the UI had changed slightly in 2.81, they added an additional toolbar at the top of the viewport. This means that you can properly drag the cursor around and easily snap it as you can in default blender, instead of the bad workaround I had before where you could only place it by clicking and the snapping didn’t work. V1.2 - Rebound moving the Cursor to be Shift+Alt+Right Click & Drag. They were not changed at all in the initial release. V1.1 - Curves, Metaballs, Armatures, Lattices, and Grease Pencil should now all have the appropriate W, E, R, spacebar, circle select, and lasso select on right click & drag keybindings bound in their respective edit modes, or as close as they can be. Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Space: Fullscreen active viewport with UI elements on Shift+Ctrl+Space: Active tool sidebar list popup underneath mouseħ. Shift+Space: Search Menu Popup underneath mouseĦ. Ctrl+Alt+Space: Play/Pause Animation in reverseĥ. Alt+Space: Play/Pause Animation forwardĤ. Ctrl+Space: Custom Viewport Pie Menu with buttons in the same location as the Modo oneģ. This essentially replicates Modo's drop the tool functionality.Ģ. Space bar: Changes selection method to just be 'select'.

A lot of the space bar key combos have been changed to make everything work while fitting in most of default blenders functionality: 1.

Moving the Cursor around had to be rebound from the default key of Shift+Right Click & Drag to Shift+Alt+Right Click & Drag because the default one obviously conflicted with the lasso select being bound to Shift+Right Click & Drag.

I did not do this for the W key which swaps your selection method by default because it just bugged out completely when sharing the first press with the active move tool.

Since the WER keys had to be rebound to the move, rotate, scale tools, I rebound their default functions to be a double tap of either the E key for Extrude while in edit mode or a double tap of the R key to activate the tool handless rotate tool of blender.

While most of the changes are just navigation and are not worth mentioning if you have Modo muscle memory, here are some of the notable keybinding changes that you should be aware of:

I made this as a config instead of a keymap because as a config this will auto update itself with any new and/or changes in the official default keymap in Blender.By default, this config will only use your CPU if you don’t select one or the other. You will need to go into Edit>Preferences>System and either enable Cuda (Nvidia GPU) or OpenCL (AMD GPU) if you want to use GPU rendering in cycles. GPU RENDERING NEEDS TO BE ENABLED FOR CYCLES IN YOUR PREFERENCES.Clip distance set as low as possible as default, so stuff doesn’t get culled out of view when navigating the viewport, namely when getting very close to meshes.

(I found myself changing it from Eevee to cycles a lot, but instructions on how to change it back + a variant with Eevee as default are included) Default render engine set to Cycles instead of Eevee to be more in line with default rendering behavior of Modo’s F12 box rendering and viewport preview render.Custom Viewport Navigation Pie Menu with the buttons in the places they are in Modo.Paint Selecting while holding ctrl or shift with left click drag.Space bar to “drop the tool” functionality.

If you are installing on a version newer than Blender 2.80, the install will be the same except that the 2.80 part of the install file location will need to be changed to the version you are using, so the 2.81 instead of the 2.80 folder for example. This is for Blender 2.80 and above! I highly doubt it will work as intended with 2.79 and below, but you are welcome to try or use this as a reference to create your own. This is a simple keymap to make using Blender feel a bit more like Modo, while still retaining the vast majority of default Blender 2.8+ keybindings so that tutorials are still easy to follow! It’s mostly just navigation and selection changes to bring things more in line with the Modo way.
