The developer notes this add-on was largely AI-assisted, read and tested in Blender 5.1, with a human making the design calls. Because it edits keymaps in place, back up your preferences before use.
Keymap Visualizer replaces digging through Blender's nested keymap menus with a single on-screen keyboard. Hovering a key opens an info panel showing what's bound to it; left-click locks the panel to that key, and right-click lets you rebind, unbind, reset to default, or toggle a binding on or off. Press ? then a combo to jump to the key that owns it, press / to search operators by name (matching keys stay bright while others dim), and press D to compare against Blender defaults, where green marks modified bindings and red marks deactivated ones. Ctrl+Z undoes up to 50 levels.
The keyboard is GPU-rendered with drop shadows and hover animations, offered in 6 sizes, 2 physical layouts (ANSI or ISO), and 7 logical layouts. Filters cover editors and modes, and an operator browser lists 13 categories. You can save a whole keyconfig as a JSON preset, import or export .py keyconfigs, and theme the display through configurable color tokens. It opens from Edit → Keymap Viz in the top menu bar. Because keymaps are sensitive user data with limited safeguards, the developer recommends backing up your Blender preferences before use.
Keymap Visualizer is best for blender users who want to view, search, and rebind keyboard shortcuts from a single visual keyboard instead of nested menus.
Keymap Visualizer is completely free to download and use.
Keymap Visualizer requires Blender 5.1 or newer. It has been tested in Blender 5.1 according to the developer. Once installed, you open it from Edit → Keymap Viz in the top menu bar, which launches a new window with the keyboard overlay. If you run an older Blender release, you will need to update before the add-on will work, so check your version under Blender's About menu first.
Keymap Visualizer edits your keymaps in place, and keymaps are sensitive user data that Blender provides limited safeguards around. The developer warns there is a real possibility of keymap loss or corruption, with no guaranteed way to restore them from within Blender. Before using the add-on, copy your userpref.blend and any keyconfig files from your Blender config folder so you can roll back if anything goes wrong. This is the safest way to protect your existing shortcut setup.
Keymap Visualizer lets you save a whole keyconfig as a JSON preset, then load, delete, copy to clipboard, or paste from clipboard. Presets save to your Blender user config folder by default, and this location is configurable in the add-on preferences. You can also export and import .py keyconfigs to a path of your choice, which defaults to your Blender user config folder. The extension requests file and clipboard permissions to support these actions.
Keymap Visualizer is listed as free here and is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. For the full source and the most current licensing details, see the developer's page on GitHub. The add-on is available through Blender extensions, where it holds a popularity rank of 806. Because licensing terms can change, always confirm the current details on the developer's page before relying on them.
