Often a user with previous experience with another 3D software (Like Maya, Cinema 4D or 3DS Max) will not want to re-learn a whole new set of shortcuts. In the Keymap Preferences, we can remap these shortcuts (called “Key-Binding”). Blender Keymap Preferencesīlender is packed full of features, operations, tools and other things that can be used with shortcuts or hot keys. It probably has some uses (I just can’t imagine what they are). With gravity turned on, our view will gradually “fall” as if we were falling in our scene.

We can turn on gravity settings for Walk Mode and Fly Mode. The “Teleport Duration” is how fast or slow that teleporting “jump” will be. Teleporting is done by pressing Spacebar in Walk Mode and we will jump straight forward in our scene. In Walk Mode, we can adjust the mouse sensitivity. They are slightly different and we can only have one activated at a time for some reason. We select between Walk and Fly mode at the top. Increasing the resolution scale will increase the size of the icons, text, windows and other display elements in Blender. Displayīlender packs a lot of menus into its interface and the icons default pretty small in size. The interface preferences are where we adjust settings for display, editor, language translation, text and menus in Blender.

Here’s a rough overview of each category of the preferences.
