| :kbd:`MMB` - Middle Mouse Button | |||||
| :kbd:`RMB` - Right Mouse Button | |||||
| - If your mouse has a wheel | |||||
| :kbd:`MMB` - Middle Mouse Button (clicking the wheel) | |||||
| :kbd:`Wheel` - Scrolling the wheel. | |||||
| - Hotkey letters are shown in this manual like they appear on a keyboard; for example, | |||||
| :kbd:`G` - refers to the lowercase ``g``. | |||||
| :kbd:`Shift`, :kbd:`Ctrl` and :kbd:`Alt` are specified as modifier keys. | |||||
| :kbd:`Ctrl-W` or :kbd:`Shift-Alt-A` - indicates that these keys should be pressed simultaneously | |||||
| :kbd:`Numpad0` to :kbd:`Numpad9`, :kbd:`NumpadPlus` - and so on refer to the keys on the separate numeric keypad. | |||||
| Other keys are referred to by their names, such as :kbd:`Esc`, :kbd:`Tab`, :kbd:`F1` to :kbd:`F12`. | |||||

| NumPad Emulation | |||||
| ================ | |||||
| If you do not have a Numeric Numpad on the side of your keyboard, you may want to Emulate one | |||||

| Non English Keyboard | |||||
| ==================== | |||||
| If you use a keyboard with a non-english keyboard layout, you still may benefit from switching | |||||
| your computer to the UK or US layout as long as you work with Blender. | |||||
| Note that you can also change the Blender default keymap and change the default hotkeys. | |||||
| However this manual is based on the default keymap. | |||||
