I'm unable to find the show gizmo move keybind. So what I specifically want is to see the XYZ-arrows when I press G to move, just like they show up when I press Move on the toolbar to the left.

Apparently it was shift+space+g in Blender 2.8. When I try it, shift+space starts some animation frame instead.

I searched in the keymaps but theres nothing relevant on "gizmo", so that leaves me overwhelmed.

I found this thread but its not the answer Gizmo missing in version 2.90.1

  • Space (pressed on it's own) starts the animation playing. With shift depressed, press space to bring up the tools menu. then pressing G will invoke the move gizmo . – batFINGER May 24 '21 at 13:16
  • Not for me. My Space is set to search. Shift+space starts animation playing. – kikiririwiwi May 24 '21 at 13:25
  • what shortcut do you see if you hover over tool as suggested in answer below? – batFINGER May 24 '21 at 13:26
  • None, no shortcuts in any tooltip. – kikiririwiwi May 24 '21 at 13:28
  • Even if I changed space from Search to Tools, I still play with Shift+Space. If I at the same time remove the keybind for Play Animation (which says Shift+Space) it's still not solved. – kikiririwiwi May 24 '21 at 13:38
  • Ok, what do you get for Prefs > Keymaps > Search > Name search for "Toolbar" For me I get the default Shift Space (under Window context) Could answer re how to set up this keymap? – batFINGER May 24 '21 at 13:41
  • What I refered to above is the Spacebar Action, which I have set to Search.

    anyway, well if I search for "Toolbar" I only find "Fallback tool pie menu" which is Alt+W.

  • btw to turn on tooltips Prefs > Interface > Display Did you bring keymaps over from a previous version of blender? – batFINGER May 24 '21 at 13:47
  • Here is the keymap https://pasteall.org/media/1/7/1706b91868968a7093908e096558c244.png to bring up toolbar menu. – batFINGER May 24 '21 at 13:50
  • No, I am a new user since less than a month back. I have User Tooltips already checked. I tried the Python Tooltips but that made it just look like actual code. It says I can force to show if I hold Alt but that doesnt work regardless of checked or not. Without changing anything yet, this is what mine looks like >> https://imgur.com/a/exA75eW – kikiririwiwi May 24 '21 at 13:50
  • And this is what I get if I search for toolbar, how come you can find it but I cannot? >> https://imgur.com/a/H7E22Dh are you using another version than 2.92? – kikiririwiwi May 24 '21 at 13:56
  • I get same as my image above for both 2.91 and 2.92 on ubuntu. Showed image because you can easily add the keymap. – batFINGER May 24 '21 at 13:58
  • ok thanks Ill see how I want to set it up. Apparently its due to me using Right click. Its quite defeatening how everything in Blender seem to change over just 1 or 2 versions. And the keybind dont show in the tooltip but Ill just accept it doesnt work for me. – kikiririwiwi May 24 '21 at 14:08
  • Bit the bullet at 2.8 and started fresh with new defaults. Was hard to get head around left click select at first, but... must admit always thought it should have been this way round in first place as it matches most software. – batFINGER May 24 '21 at 14:20

If you only want to turn on and off the move tool, by default is by Holding down Shift + Spacebar , G.

If you don't see anything, hover your mouse over the move tool and you will see the shortcut appear

  • I thought about that too but none of my tooltips show the shortcut like yours does. Is it because I use Right for select? Does that change so many things in the keybinds? If I could find this gizmo in the Keymap, I could see it. But I dont know how to find it as mentioned – kikiririwiwi May 24 '21 at 13:26
  • I changed Right to Left but that didnt change the supposed outcome of the keybind. – kikiririwiwi May 24 '21 at 13:32
  • try with factory reset... File > Defaults > Load Factory settings and also inside the preference settings... Edit > Preferences > click the three lines in the bottom left corner > Load Factory Preferences – Emir May 24 '21 at 13:56
  • Okay this helps but only for Left click setting. As soon as I go back to Right click, things change. So while it answers, im not satisfied but I dont blame you instead Blender. – kikiririwiwi May 24 '21 at 14:01

If it's missing add a new keymap.

By default ShiftSpace brings up the toolbar menu. Can search for it's keymap via Prefs > Keymaps > Search > Name "Toolbar"

enter image description here

As you can see, for me it is there, but for you it isn't, in which case will add a new one.

At the bottom of the window context, click on the add new button.

enter image description here

Fill in the properties as above (Bit silly as for me as above is literally as above...)

Should now be able to press ShiftSpace and bring up the toolbar menu,

enter image description here

and if so save preferences.

    Ah now we talking! Now as I added my own keybind for "wm.toolbar" then also "toolbar" can be searched for. So this means the toolbar does not have a keybind with the Right click configure. I had to remove the Play Animate which is no problem. Im very content with this. The key was the wm.toolbar, that part I would not figure out even if I knew how to change an existing keybind. Excellent. Vielen dank, grazie, kiitos and thank you.

    Its too bad I cannot give you my upvote.
