This is a list of shortcut keys for Blender 2.62 (and some 2.

63 BMesh) -- Windows -- as we used them in the


different weeks of the course. If a shortcut key was used in one class, it might not be listed in later class listings.
I'm trying to keep the main keys for each class so they will be easier to find in the list.
[ In this list, commas usually denote the release of a key. If two key strokes are side by side (ie.- Shift 'X') without a
comma, the key should be held while pressing additional keys. If there is a comma (ie.- Shift, 'X', 'R'), the key
should be released before making the additional key hits. ]
