the G/R/S/E grammar

Most of Blender’s core grammar is bare letters — which is exactly why it drills so well. The view moves (0 5 7 . /) are numpad keys in Blender — the trainer accepts the main row too. Render (F12), deselect (Alt+A), unhide (Alt+H) and X-ray (Alt+Z) sit out: browsers swallow or garble them.
