    Useful HotKeys for Maya provides a summary of keyboard shortcuts for common modeling, animation, and interface tasks in Autodesk Maya. Some key shortcuts include W, E, R for translate, rotate, scale tools, + and - for resizing manipulators, and CTRL+SPACE to show/hide the UI. Animation helpers include using K to scrub and move frames. Non-uniform scale allows CTRL-clicking axes, and split polygon tool uses right-click to finish cuts. Virtual sliders use middle-click dragging on channels to manipulate values. Snapping tools like X and middle-click allow snapping to grids, and C/V snap to curves/vertices.

    Useful HotKeys for Maya:

    ('w', 'e', 'r') keys select the manipulator tools (Translate, Rotate, Scale)
    + and - resize your manipulators for translate,rotate,etc.
    Hold any of these keys while clicking and holding RMB for tool options:
    ex: hold 'w' + left-click to change between local and world translate

    ctrl+space to show/hide all gui elements (Expert Mode)


    alt-b toggles your background thru gray, dark gray, black
    handy for previewing particles with color accumulation
    Animation Helpers:
    Hold 'k' left-click drag to scrub anim
    Hold 'k' middle-click drag moves frame counter w/o updating the
    position of objects
    shift-w sets key translate only
    shift-e sets key rotate only, etc.
    alt-v playback on/off
    comma and period prev/next key (I like to think of this as < and > keys)
    alt-comma, and alt-period forward/back 1 frame
    '[' and ']' prev/next view for selected camera

    Non uniform Scale:


    ctrl-click on axis to scale in the other 2
    ctrl-click on translate axis to only translate in the other 2 axes
    notice how the yellow box in the center of translate manip changes shape
    ctrl-click center to go back to translate along view plane

    ctrl-rightclick for extra marking menu with fancy selection options

    Split Polygon Tool:


    When using cut polygon tool, right-click (RMB) (right mouse button) to
    finish and start another cut (rather than return, then 'g')

    Hold 'j' for rotate snapping in 15deg increments (also works for translate
    and scale)
    hold shift-J for relative snapping - 15deg more than current rotations

    Virtual sliders:
    Highlight a channel name, and middle-click drag in your main window
    for a 'virtual slider'
    hold ctrl for slower, shift for faster

    Highlight multiple channel values and type into all at once


    ex: scale in all axis to exactly 4.5
    Type '*=4' into channel box to multiply the current value (handy math)
    ex: your object.scaleX is 21.37, type /=2 into the channelbox to get
    10.685

    Virtual sliders in attribute editor:


    Select a numeric value in the attribute editor,
    ctrl+left-click drag on the field to change (virtual slider)
    ctrl+left-click drag = slow, ctrl+middle-click drag = med, ctrl+rightclick drag = fast

    Tear off menus:


    ctrl-shift while picking a menu to add to the shelf
    middle-drag any mel commands to shelf to make a button
    middle-drag a button to the script editor to see the commands
    in script editor: highlight cmds before running so they don't go away.

    Snapping Basics:
    With translate tool hold 'x' and middle-click drag on a grid point to snap
    to it
    Use 'c' to snap to curve/edge, 'v' to snap to vert
    Snap in one axis: select a translate axis (such as Y), then snap like
    before:
    This is great to align verts, move a pivot to the exact bottom of an
    object, etc.
    When aligning verts, you want 'retain component spacing' off in the
    translate options
    A good use is: When you are working far from the origin and create a
    new primitive,
    use curve/vert snap to move the new object in to your view. Don't go get
    it.

    Artisan and Paint Tools:


    Hold 'b' and left-click drag to change brush radius
    Hold shift-b left-click drag to change lower radius (not as useful)
    Hold '/' left-click for eyedropper to grab color/value
    Hold m left-click drag to change max displacement
    alt-f to flood
