Blender Guides: use commands instead of default hotkeys #24

Open MasssiveJuice08 opened 6 months ago

MasssiveJuice08 commented 6 months ago

Blender guides should be written with commands, rather than default hotkeys only, as hotkeys are customisable by users so are not consistent. E.g., rather than "press Z and 2", write "change display mode to material preview."

Besides factoring in different control-scheme compatibility, using commands instead of hotkeys is more effective at explaining Blender workflow.

I think we could do both? Personally, the focus on commands specifically is why I often find Blender docs to be so incredibly difficult to work with. I don't know how to do a given command, which is why I'm reading documentation about it!

Perhaps the first time any given command is mentioned in an article, we could also give the default hotkey binding. Then any future mentions of the command in the same article just contain the command name and no hotkeys.
