Why we like it

Hotkey Heaven earns its place in the Superhive library for its simple hotkey-based approach that works with any tool in any Blender mode.

What is Hotkey Heaven?

Hotkey Heaven is an add-on for Blender built around a hotkey-driven workflow. You pick a tool in Blender, activate that tool by pressing the add-on's hotkey, and once the tool is active you press the hotkey again to perform an action of your choice. It works with any tool in any mode.

The add-on is compatible with Blender 3.0 and later, spanning versions 3.0 through 4.0. Installation follows Blender's standard route: download the .zip file, then go to Edit, Preferences, Add-ons, Install and select the .zip. A September 2023 update fixed an addon_util bug that occurred during installation.

Galaxy Studios, credited to Dylin Stoen, also takes special requests, so users can email the developer if there's an add-on or feature they want implemented. A demo video is available. The add-on is released under the GPL license.

Who is Hotkey Heaven best for?

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Hotkey Heaven support?

Hotkey Heaven works for Blender 3.0 and later, with listed compatibility covering versions 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 4.0. If you are on one of these versions, the add-on is designed to function across them. It also works with any tool in any mode, so its behaviour is not limited to a specific workspace. Check the developer's page to confirm compatibility with your exact Blender build before installing.

How do I install Hotkey Heaven in Blender?

Hotkey Heaven installs through Blender's standard add-on route. Download the .zip file, then open Blender and go to Edit, Preferences, Add-ons, Install. From there, select the downloaded .zip file to add it. A September 2023 update fixed an addon_util bug that occurred during installation, so make sure you are using a current version. Once installed, you can pick a tool in Blender and begin using the add-on's hotkey workflow across any mode.

How does the hotkey workflow in Hotkey Heaven work?

Hotkey Heaven uses a two-press hotkey approach. First, pick a tool in Blender and activate that tool by pressing the add-on's hotkey. Once the tool is activated, press the hotkey again to perform an action of your choice. This flow works with any tool in any mode, so it is not tied to a particular editor or tool type. A demo video is available if you want to see the add-on before installing it.

Is Hotkey Heaven free to use?

Hotkey Heaven is listed as free in this catalog and is released under the GPL license. For current licensing terms and any pricing details, check the developer's page directly, as terms can change over time. The add-on is credited to Galaxy Studios, with Dylin Stoen listed as the creator, who also takes special requests by email if you want a particular add-on or feature implemented.
