The default shortcut for "Insert keyframe" is I, which is achieved by holding the mouse over for example the Location Transform, and pressing I. I want to use the Insert key instead.

Even if I overwrite all the shortcuts that are called something with Insert keyframe and/or use the I key, it doesn't work. It's still the I key that is active.

Is there something special about the Insert key that makes it unusable? I noticed "Toggle overwrite" was using the Insert, but even if I turned it off, while all shortcuts were assigned to Insert, I still couldn't insert keyframes.

Anyone has a clue on this?

  • $\begingroup$ @Ibalazscs At least in the User Preferences you cant. Note that Niclas mentioned hovering over a property, then pressing "insert". In all other context's it works fine. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 19, 2016 at 0:49
  • $\begingroup$ Indeed. Maybe this one is hardcoded and cannot be changed. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 19, 2016 at 1:02
  • $\begingroup$ Oh that's a pity. Instictively I keep pressing the insert button.. :P $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 19, 2016 at 17:02

You can use autohotkey to make the insert key function as the "i" key when Blender is open.

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks, since a long time ago I got used to the I key and forgot that Insert would be logical:) I could also use Keyboard maestro for this. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 8, 2017 at 12:36
