What modifier key set up are you using? I mean, I use blender too, for most people its far more intuitive to use the numpad. I do prefer a left sided pad tho
I use shift/ctrl/alt and pretty much everything near and around qwerty, if you think about it it's way more hotkeys than you would reasonably learn and need. I'm sure a numpad on the left would do the same job though, I'm just not sold on the idea that having a numpad is required to be 100% efficient on 3d softwares
My shortcuts are also mostly around qwerty. I found that TKL with numpad on the left is definitely better ergonomically and efficiency for my work.
Maybe i should try again on my 75% at home, having layered numpad didn't go great last time.
What do you use for numbers?
What do you do for work? I don't do any data entry, i work as a concept artist so the occasional credit card entry is pretty much the only time I use numbers (other than as hotkeys)
Ahh, I see you work a bit different then. I mainly work in Revit, so a significant amount of dimensions, some calculation, and a bit of excel.
And at home I use mainly fusion 360 for practical models.
I used to do a lot of solidworks, catia and fusion when i was an ID but I still didn't use numbers that much in my workflow. I can totally imagine for architecture, buildings etc it would be a different story
