Navigation Keyboard shortcuts, v0.18

Post by garya »

Running a newish build of v0.18, 47fd9d3

The keyboard shortcuts for standard views do not seem to match the documented behavior:

Code: Select all

Key    Documented   Actual
1        Top                 Front
2        Front              Top
3        Right              Right
4        Bottom            Back
5        Back               Bottom
6        Left                 Left
Is this a problem with the documentation, or is the code not doing what is intended?

Nice images, not sure whether or not that answers the question.
I don't see the file "Axes_2.png" listed under the file list in the documentation, so it's not clear to me if you just produced that for the purpose of answering the question (seems unlikely), or where it came from.
You're apparently seeing the behavior I'm seeing.
Is that the intended behavior, or is the documentation I'm reading Manual:Navigating in the 3D view wrong? (Towards the bottom, under the table of mouse gestures)

Thanks, I fixed the wiki.

Just for the sake of completeness, I fired up an old FC 0.16.6712 AppImage, and can confirm that keyboard shortcuts were the same as in v0.18.

Turns out there are seven; zero selects axonometric view. I've added it.

Thanks, I should have noticed it was missing because that's probably the view shortcut key I use most often!

The subconscious fingers have better memory than the conscious brain :-).
