Shortcut list

This is a PDF that compares Maya hotkeys to 3dsMAX, but it shows all the major maya commands so it should be helpful

Great link there! That will help a lot. Oh, and i hope that you maya people dont mind a lot of questions. I tend to ask a lot, especially if they are stupid ones.:D

I think
you should take a print out of window>settings/preferences>hotkeys as suggested by doogie and pin it there before you and faithfully worship it everyday. However i guess you will finally end up using Ctrl + A and a few of your own shortcut keys most apart from the favorite hotbar [space]

My favorite default are
Ctrl+A and
G
Ctrl+z (most favorite :P )
p P
Ctrl + G
Ctrl+b
maybe few more i dont remember ahh F and A and all others are my own making.

Ofcourse space ;)

anakinskywalker: I read through your favs thinking... "what does that one do?" but I use those same ones everyday, I just never actually think of them as "ctrl - a opens attribute editor" I just picked them up one by one by watching other people work in lab. I love just to watch people work and watch their workflow.... and you can pick up quite a few by reading threads like these :D

Doogie .. I am also a trainer for 3dsmax .. so although i wont think about it while using it myself or in Maya (i am still learning it myself).. I have this odd annoying habit of speaking out the keys while demonstrating to a group of students. :p Sometimes irritates me. Sometimes I just spell out the whole process (especially in Photoshop) in shortcut keys to impress the newbies :cool:

once you know your workflow and what u need to do and can identify your favorite tools you can then create your hotkey driven marking menus and context sensitive hotkeys.


have ctrl+x extrude face/edge/ or vert depending on which component is selected.

i have alt+w for move component(poly)....and l for edgeloop...the 2 in combo is very nice
