Cmd-Comma

Preferences.

Keymap Preferences

Select with Mouse Button: Controls which mouse button, either left or right, is used to select items in Blender. If Left is selected, the RMB will be a context sensitive menu. If Right is selected, the LMB will place the 3D Cursor.

Spacebar Action

Controls the action of Spacebar. These and other shortcuts can be modified in the keymap preferences.

Play:: Starts playing through the Timeline. This option is good for animation or video editing work.
도구:: Opens the Toolbar underneath the cursor to quickly change the active tool. This option is good if you are doing a lot of modeling or rigging work.
Search:: Opens up the Menu Search. This option is good for someone who is new to Blender and is unfamiliar with the menus and shortcuts.

Activate Gizmo Event

The activation event for gizmos that support drag motion. This option is only available when Left click Select with Mouse Button is chosen.

Press:: The gizmo’s operation gets initiated (and additional options become available in the Status Bar) the moment you press down the mouse button on the gizmo.
Drag:: The operation only gets initiated once you start dragging the gizmo.

Right Mouse Select Action

The default action for the right mouse button. This option is only available when Right click Select with Mouse Button is chosen.

Select & Tweak:: Right mouse always tweaks the selected item.
Selection Tool:: Right mouse uses the selection tool.

Tool Keys

The method of keys to activate tools such as move, rotate, and scale.

Immediate:: Activate actions immediately.
Active Tool:: Activate the tool for editors that support tools.

Alt Click Tool Prompt

Tapping Alt shows a prompt in the status bar prompting a second keystroke to activate the tool. Note that this option is not available when using Emulate 3 Button Mouse.

Alt Tool Access

Hold Alt to use the Active Tool when the gizmo would normally be required. (For example, with the Move tool selected, you can hold Alt and drag the mouse anywhere in the viewport to move the selected object, rather than having to drag its gizmo.) This option is only available when Select with Mouse Button is set to Left click and Emulate 3 Button Mouse is disabled.

Alt Cursor Access

Hold Alt-LMB to place the Cursor (instead of LMB), allows tools to activate on press instead of drag. This option is only available when Right click Select with Mouse Button is chosen. Note this option is not available when using Emulate 3 Button Mouse.

Select All Toggles

Causes selection shortcut A to deselect all when any selection exists.

3D Viewport

Grave Accent / Tilde Action

Navigate:: Navigation pie menu, useful on systems without a numeric keypad.
Gizmos:: Transform gizmos pie menu, useful for quickly switching between transform gizmos. Note that this doesn’t apply to tools that force a certain gizmo (Move, Rotate, Scale and Transform); if you have such a tool selected, the gizmo will stay the same no matter what you choose in the pie menu.

Middle Mouse Action

The action when MMB dragging in the viewport, this also applies to trackpads.

Orbit:: Rotates the view around a pivot point, Shift-MMB is used for panning the view.
Pan:: Shifts the view towards the mouse, Shift-MMB is used for orbiting the view.

Alt Middle Mouse Drag Action

Relative:: Set the view axis where each mouse direction maps to an axis relative to the current orientation.
Absolute:: Set the view axis where each mouse direction always maps to the same axis.

File Browser
