Shortcuts

Everything on this page can be rebound under Preferences → Add-ons → Blaze AutoPose → Shortcuts. The defaults are listed here.

The list is also in the viewport

The ? button in the Constraints header opens the same list inside Blender, and it always shows your own bindings rather than the defaults.

The shortcut popup

the in-viewport list, opened from the question-mark button.

Working With Constraints

Shortcut	Action
LMB drag	Move or rotate the constraint under the pointer
LMB click	Select and activate a constraint, then show its gizmo
Shift + LMB	Add a position constraint to the selection group
Alt + LMB	Switch the hovered constraint between position and rotation
RMB	Deactivate an active constraint, or hide it if it is already inactive
Alt + F	Freeze or unfreeze the hovered constraint
Alt + H	Show every hidden constraint
G	Use Position on the selected constraint and start Blender’s move tool
R	Use Rotation on the selected constraint and start Blender’s rotate tool

Alt + H only affects AutoPose

Alt + H is Blender’s Reveal Hidden. During an AutoPose session it brings back AutoPose’s own hidden handles and nothing else. Your rig’s hidden bones and objects are left alone.

The Pose

Shortcut	Action
Enter	Save the current pose as the Restore checkpoint and deactivate all constraints
I	Key the character’s FK pose at the current frame
Ctrl + C	Copy the complete AutoPose pose
Ctrl + V	Paste the copied pose and save it as the Restore checkpoint

Set Base is only a checkpoint

It does not set a fixed starting pose for the solver. Every drag works from the pose visible immediately before that drag.

Modes And Sessions

Shortcut	Action
Shift + R	Switch between AutoPose and Manual Pose
Esc	Finish the AutoPose session, or stop a recording

AutoPose History

Shortcut	Action
Ctrl + Z	Undo an AutoPose pose or state change
Ctrl + Shift + Z	Redo an AutoPose pose or state change

Moving And Rotating Handles

Dragging a handle and using G or R support the same Blender transform controls:

Position constraints can be transformed as a selected group. Rotation and look-at controls are manipulated one at a time.

Axis locks

X, Y, Z to lock an axis, twice for the local one, Shift plus an axis to exclude it.

Numeric entry

Type a distance or an angle directly and press Enter.

Fine control

Hold Shift while moving for a slower, finer adjustment.

Cancel

RMB or Esc cancels the transform and puts the handle back.

Rebinding

Type a chord straight into the field in preferences. The accepted vocabulary is:

• Modifiers: Ctrl, Alt, Shift
• Keys: A-Z, 0-9, F1-F24
• Mouse and special: LMB, MMB, RMB, Enter, Esc, Space, Tab

Combine them with +, one key or mouse button per shortcut. Alt+F, Ctrl+C, and I are all valid; Alt+F+G is not.

A field turns red when the chord cannot be read or when it collides with another AutoPose binding, and the message underneath names the conflict. Until you fix it, that action keeps its default, so a typo can never leave you without a way to perform it.

Restore Default Shortcuts resets every binding at once.

One binding needs an add-on reload

AutoPose / Manual Pose is also registered as a Blender keymap, so it can be received while no session is running. Changing that binding takes effect after the add-on reloads - disable and re-enable it, or restart Blender. Everything else applies straight away.
