How Keybinds Supercharge Your Blender Workflow

May 27, 2025

Hey Blender friend 👋

One of the biggest changes to my Blender speed didn’t come from some fancy addon...
It came from keybinds.

Seriously.
Setting up a few key shortcuts around your natural hand position makes everything faster, smoother, and way less frustrating.

The one I use more than anything else?

Frame Selected (shortcut: zoom into selected object)

I have it bound to Mouse Button 4 — just a fingertip away.
And I’m constantly tapping it while working — focusing the view, jumping between objects instantly, staying in flow.

Before I set it up, I used to:

  • Pan around awkwardly

  • Manually zoom in/out

  • Constantly lose my focus mid-work

Now, it’s just tap ➔ locked in ➔ keep building.

Keybinds are tiny upgrades that stack up into huge time savings across a project.
They’re like creating shortcuts inside your muscle memory.

If you want to work faster in Blender:

  • Find the actions you use 50+ times per project

  • Bind them to keys or mouse buttons you can tap instantly

  • Watch how much smoother your workflow feels after just one day
