Houdini hotkeys and shortcuts are accessed via the Edit > Hotkeys... menu. This panel allows the user to manage all hotkeys and customize them. There are roughly over 2,500 possible items you can set. In this video I show over 70 of them in action.

    we need pdf of this shortcut

    • vfxman222 3 years, 1 month ago  | 

      I thought about doing a PDF as well, but ultimately decided against it. There’s plenty more hotkeys that could easily be added to this collection to show and maintaining a PDF may be a bit too much work to keep up over time.

      You can easily search and view all 2,500+ hotkeys though in Houdini directly by going to the Edit menu and selecting Hotkeys from the list. This will give you full access to every single active hotkey and more.
