<div dir="ltr">Thumbs up! I've made just these very changes to my default-file only recently after about 3 years of using Blender on and off and I couldn't agree more with you.<br><br>I think most people can cope with and learn to like a novel UI, but the sad thing is that maybe the most novel and unique parts of Blenders UI are also the very first parts new users come in contact with. (I.e. *Right mouse* for select etc.) By removing the early obstacles and allowing the newbie to experience more of Blender before fatigue sets in, the first impression is still a lot more positive.<br>
<br>For example, as a professional low-tech newbie, (like myself) it doesn't really matter if the competing packages costs $ since it seems like simply learning Blenders UI will also cost $ (time) even if the software itself is free.<br>
<br>Only changing "Select" from "Right mouse" to "Left mouse" would help tremendously in the effort to provide newbies a much more pleasant first experience in Blender. Also, I can not really think of a good reason why for instance the select should be kept as it is. Maybe there have been a good reason but it seems to be obsolete now.<br>
<br>I think that Blenders uniqueness may be very well retained in other parts and aspects of the application other than the most frequently used parts of the UI.<br><br>With regs,<br>-- <br>Jimmy Volatile<br><br>On Mon, Oct 13, 2008 at 11:19 PM, Sangwoo Hong <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sahngwoo@gmail.com">sahngwoo@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
