Transform origin…HOTKEY?! Edit: Key ops Addon “Maya D’

[zachary Nazha]

Just a little PSA, since I did not know this was a thing till I did it on accident. With an object selected in object mode. If you hit D + R/G. It allows you to rotate or move the origin. I had no idea this was added/ a thing. Super cool and useful for local transforms! Edit: This is a Free Addon

That’s not part of the default keymap for windows and Linux. Maybe you hit ctrl+period by accident which switches to use origin transform mode.

I can’t get anything out of D + R/G, so maybe it’s like Dwayne says.

I just went and tested it. I wish i had screen recording. Select an object in object mode HOLD D then hit G or R.

Hi Zachary,

Tried that with different Keymaps and Keymap Settings, but couldn’t get that to work.

Maybe you accidentally enabled the Transform > Affect Only > Origins Option at some point (as Dwayne already mentioned):

You may have an addon that has added that option, but vanilla Blender doesn’t have that keymap. I just doubled checked with is key free addon which also includes Mac’s hotkeys. You can test this quickly be clicking file->default->load factory startup. The try it. 

[zachary Nazha]

You guys are indeed correct loaded default and it does not have it. It must be an addon because I prefer default keymap settings for blender. Edit: It is the key Ops toolkit “Maya D”

I apologize for the misinformation. This was just SO incredibly useful I got excited haha. If necessary I can remove the thread. 

[Omar Domenech]

Nah that’s ok, you can leave it up.
