1.1.1 Interface Input
Th e user input to the program is described in this manual
using a standard keyboard and a three-button or wheel
mouse. Blender is designed to be operated with one hand
on the mouse and the other on the keyboard. Laptop us-
ers will have to adapt to the instructions provided as notes
throughout this manual.
Here's an example. In the lower LH corner of the 3D
window, click on the icon with the mouse cursor. Select
“Graph Editor,” and the window changes to the graph edi-
tor window. Click on the graph editor icon and select “3D
View”—the window reverts to the 3D window. Any window
may be changed to a diff erent window type in this way.
