Good video-and-text format for shortcut reference
From 4 comments
Excellent work. At first glance, I'd say this is The Right Way to do documentation for complex GUI design applications. I hope it catches on, because the lack of quickly…
alanbernstein on HNI have been using blender for years now, but still learned some useful shortcuts thanks to this. this is a great way to teach shortcuts, and is perfect for a quick reference on a…
Avisite on HNI adore this format, fantastic idea. I would love to see it for other programs as well. This is an Anki deck waiting to happen!
owenpalmer on HNThis format is awesome and helps eliminate the fear of starting by making learning shortcuts easy and interesting.

One JS file, one HTML file, one CSS file. Perfection.

Useful for learning Blender quickly
From 3 comments
This is so useful! I just started learning blender and I wish I had this a week ago!
i_am_a_squirrel on HNVery well done - it took me several attempts to get the hang of Blender and I still only know / used half those shortcuts. Thanks for the easy to use tips!
acutesoftware on HNThis is excellent. Wish I had this reference when learning Blender in high school. I'm sure 3D modeling classes would love this if they knew about it.

Objections
Videos autoplay or fail to play in Firefox without autoplay
From 2 comments
Hi, the site looks nice. It's not working as intended on firefox, though, when autoplay is disabled (this might be the default now, I'm not sure). There is no way to know that…
me_bx on HNAs a user with media autoplay blocked I find this website hard to use. Please consider adding play/pause buttons for each video or just keep video playback controls visible. And…

This is great, thank you. I have a Markdown file for Blender shortcuts I learned, but this seems to be more useful for remembering them. (BTW, found a typo: Seperate should be…

Support for other software like VS Code, DaVinci Resolve, Photoshop
From 3 comments
Can people list similar things for other tools? This would be useful from vscode to photoshop!
baby on HNI wish there were something similar for Davinci Resolve
bonniesimon on HNI adore this format, fantastic idea. I would love to see it for other programs as well. This is an Anki deck waiting to happen!

Anki deck export

Great idea! For better retention maybe it can be done as an anki deck?

More sections such as sculpting and selection

Great idea and execution, with the shortcut keys doubling as models. Certainly gets my visual memory engaged. Works great on Firefox android. Only thing I could wish for is…

Lazy loading of videos
From 2 comments
As a user with media autoplay blocked I find this website hard to use. Please consider adding play/pause buttons for each video or just keep video playback controls visible. And…
butz on HNNo simple (native) solution yet, as far as I know. While iframe has loading="lazy" support, it probably will be detrimental to accessibility. Could be a fun experiment, though.…

Questions
Whether Blender mouse buttons can be remapped on macOS
From 2 comments
This is awesome! I'm not a professional user of Blender, but it's my only tool for working with and creating models for 3D printing. Never could develop a liking for Fusion360,…
geuis on HNI think you can remap everything in Blender. Also my logitech mice come with remapping programs, does it come with one on mac?

Whether muted videos save bandwidth under autoplay blocking
From 1 comment
Thank you very much for pointing this out, if a play button can be a fallback for those users only I'll put it in there. I'm a bit weirded out by this being the default even for…
