Full Version: Share your MoI keyboard shortcuts

Show messages:  1-12  13-32  33-52  53-72  73-78

Recently reinstalled MoI after moving back to a Mac, and revised my keyboard shortcuts, with an emphasis on interoperability with Blender.

Here's my new list of keyboard shortcuts for commands and scripts. Some commands require a plugin or script to run. A search on this forum usually suffices to find the plugin or script.

You can copy the list (or parts of it) into your MoI.ini text file, under the [Shortcut Keys] section.
Keep in mind that I'm using a Mac keyboard, which has some differences with a Windows / Linux PC keyboard. For example, a Mac keyboard includes a Command key.
If you've switched between PC and Mac, like I did, your MoI.ini file might have two Shortcut Keys sections: [Shortcut Keys] and [Shortcut Keys Mac]. This can be confusing, so if you're currently using a PC, I'd advise to remove the [Shortcut Keys Mac] section, and if you're using a Mac, remove the [Shortcut Keys] section.

In case there are better / newer commands or scripts that could replace entries from my list, I would much appreciate it if you'd let me know, thanks in advance…

@ Metin Some useful for fan or Mac, Pc, Blender!

Personnaly i have only 5 shortcuts ...for make Subdivision inside Moi! :)
More is out of the possibility of my own old memory!
K : _subdiv_beta9
B : _sbridge
E : Extrude
P : _ssplit
S : _sscale

Nice, Pilou! I need to explore subdivision modeling MoI as well. Am used to it in polygon-based editors like Blender, but forget it's also possible in MoI.

---

Sure it's so more rustic than Blender...but...
So don't miss this thread! ;)

PS you have also a free one (French at the start) some capable : Hexagon

Nice, thanks :)

My pleasure, Pafurijaz. Nice to see you still around here too!
