This time I will give a tutorial on how to display keyboard and mouse activities in blender using addons screen keys.
As I already told you, Screen keys are add-ons, in other words, they are an external feature of Blender that you have to install yourself to be able to use them, in this tutorial I will tell you how to get these add-ons, how to install, and to use them. .
The use of screen keys will make it easier for tutors who want to make a tutorial like what you usually see on youtube tutorial videos, especially blenders, these screen keys make it easier for viewers of these tutorials to follow the tutorial videos by following the button pressed by the tutor.
Alright, let's start from the first stage, which is to get the Add-ons screen keys, in other words, download them, here I will use Nutti's add-ons on github.
you can visit nutti's github via this link github - nutiti besides screen keys nutti has other add-ons made especially for blender.
- Download screen keys
We start downloading add-ons by clicking on this link github - nutti - releases this link is the place where the latest add-ons released this time I use screen keys version 3.6(box1) as shown in the image below.
Next you scroll down until the display changes as above then you look for screencast_keys.zip(box2) which is in asset(box3) then click it the file will automatically download
- Instal screen keys
After the file is downloaded, then we open the blender software, after the software opens next
we click edit(box1) then preference(box2) then a preference window will appear as shown above here we select add-ons(box3)then look for the install button(box4) and after the button is clicked a new window will appear as shown below
Here you have to find the file that we downloaded earlier (box1) after the file is found (box2) you select it then click install add-ons (box3) the installation process will be completed soon, After the installation process is complete the previous windows *see the picture above will disappear and the previous window appears with add-ons already installed
The last stage of installing these add-ons is to activate it by clicking the button (box1) as shown above and then you can see where the add-ons screen keys are located (box2).
Make sure you don't extract the file that was downloaded, which means it's still in a zipped state because it's been set so that the installation can be done directly without having to extract it if you download it using the file via the link I provided.
- Using add-ons screen keys
After the installation process is complete then you just need to use it, previously we already know where the screen keys are located that is in the sidebar of 3d View Windows, this sidebar is usually closed or not visible
we just need to bring the mouse closer until the arrow icon <--> is visible and then drag it to the left until the window appears as shown above.
As can be seen from the image above(box1) the screen keys are still not being used, how to use them is to click on the empty box next to the name of the screen keys(box1).
After being clicked or a checkmark appears (box1) the screen keys have been used as shown in the image below (box2)
Alright, as seen above, the screen keys can be used and work properly, then you just need to customize the existing screen keys as you want, starting from the top (box3) which regulates the display, (box4) adjusts the size, (box5) adjusts where the screen keys appear,(box6) sets the additional functions of the screen keys.
Alright, that's all for this tutorial, in the future I will discuss the features in this add-ons screen keys which you can access via the link below.
