Keymap

The keymap editor lets you adjust your keymap via:

Presets:

Predefined keymaps which come with Blender and can be added to.

Preferences:

Keymaps may define their own preferences to change the functionality or add additional key bindings.

Key Map Items:

You may add/remove/edit individual keymap entries.

Blender Preferences Keymap section.

Preset Management

Keymap Presets

Select the keymap from a list of predefined keymaps.

Import

Importing opens a File Browser to select a .py file to add to the list of keymap presets.

Export

Saves the current keymap configuration as a preset others may use.

All Keymaps

When disabled, only the keymaps and categories that have been modified by the user will be exported. In addition, add-ons may register keymaps to their respective functions, however, these keymaps are not exported unless changed by the user. This exported file may be thought of as a „keymap delta” instead of a full keymap export.

When enabled, the entire keymap is written.
