Blender Beginners

Stop googling shortcuts mid-session. FlowKeys keeps the most important hotkeys organized and visible — right where you're working, without covering your viewport or breaking your focus.

Intermediate Artists Expanding Their Toolkit

You know the basics but keep forgetting that one Sculpt Mode mask shortcut or that Edge menu combo in Edit Mode. The Hidden filter is built exactly for this — it surfaces the shortcuts you'd never find just by browsing menus.

Video Editors & Animators

If you live in the Sequencer, Timeline, or Dope Sheet, FlowKeys now covers you too — strip editing, keyframe manipulation, and playback shortcuts, hidden ones included, right in the sidebar you're already working in.

Artists Juggling Multiple Projects

With Global Notes and Global Favorites, everything you save in one project follows you into every other .blend file. Never re-type a note or re-star a shortcut twice.

Visually-Focused Artists Who Hate Leaving the Viewport

The Viewport HUD was designed for artists who keep their N-Panel packed with other tools. If you can't see the sidebar, the HUD floats the shortcuts right where you're looking — no panel required.

Does it work with Blender 5.x?

Yes. FlowKeys Pro v3.4 is tested and fully compatible with Blender 4.0 through 5.3+.

How do I install it? (Important — read this)

FlowKeys Pro uses Blender's modern Extension format. Use Edit → Preferences → Get Extensions → Install from Disk, then select the zip. Do NOT use the legacy Add-ons → Install path — it will error on Linux and Mac.

Does FlowKeys work outside the 3D Viewport?

Yes, as of v3.4. Open the FlowKeys tab in the sidebar of the Video Sequencer, Timeline, or Dope Sheet editor and it'll show shortcuts relevant to that editor, same as it always has in the 3D Viewport. The floating Viewport HUD overlay is still 3D-Viewport-only for now — sidebar support for the new editors ships first, with HUD support planned as a follow-up.

What is the Hidden Hotkeys filter?

Most people learn Blender's shortcuts by browsing pulldown menus over time — but some genuinely useful shortcuts aren't listed in any menu, so there's no natural way to discover them. Toggle Hidden Only in any mode to filter down to just those hard-to-find shortcuts. It's tracked independently per mode, so your filter choice in Object Mode won't carry over to Edit Mode — and the same goes for the Sequencer, Timeline, and Dope Sheet.

Are the new Sequencer/Timeline/Dope Sheet hidden-hotkey lists fully verified?

They're a solid first pass, cross-checked against Blender's default keymap — but like any new coverage area, some entries may need refinement as more people put them to use. If you spot a shortcut that's flagged hidden but is actually menu-reachable (or vice versa), reply and let me know — this is exactly how the original 3D Viewport hidden list got sharpened over time too.

Does it slow down Blender?

No. The N-Panel is a passive UI element. The HUD overlay only activates during active modal operations — zero background processing otherwise.

What does the ✱ indicator on shortcuts mean?

FlowKeys reads your actual Blender keymap. If a shortcut has been remapped from vanilla, a ✱ appears next to it so you always know which keys are yours vs defaults.

Do my notes and favorites save automatically, and do they carry across projects?

Yes to both. Notes and Favorites are stored in global files on your machine — not inside individual .blend files. Save a note or star a shortcut once, and it shows up in every project you open. If you were on an earlier version, your existing per-file notes and favorites are migrated automatically on first load — nothing gets lost.

Can I back up or export my notes?

Yes. Use the Export TXT or Export JSON buttons in the Notes panel to save a full copy of your notes, organized by mode and category, to a file on your computer.

Can I use it on multiple computers?

Yes. Install it on any machine you own. The license covers personal use across all your devices. Note that Global Notes and Favorites are stored per-machine, so they won't automatically sync between two different computers — use Export to move your notes manually if needed.

Are future updates included?

Yes. All updates are free for Pro license holders. FlowKeys is actively maintained — new shortcut coverage, features, and compatibility updates ship regularly.
