Cinema 4D (like many other modern 3D packages) has the ability to assign custom keyboard shortcuts. I typically assign a few groups of custom keyboard shortcuts for things like selection tools and painting tools.
In the video below, we take a look at how you can assign your own shortcuts.

Hit the “v” key while your pointer is in the viewport.

GREAT video! While Cinema’s modeling tools aren’t as good as say, Modo’s,
this video really helps me work faster and it feels kinda like Maya now.
Thanks for the tip man.

Another invaluable tip! Thanks. I’ve been frustrated that several of the commands I use often don’t have keyboard shortcuts but haven’t been ambitious enough to assign any. This will spur me on to create some that work for me. Thanks.

P.S. Nice carburetor! I used to work on Japanese motorcycles a bit and it was like a wave of nostalgia to see this image. Reminds me of a Mikuni or Keihin carb . . .

Nice tip! I didn’t know you could assign those two keys shortcuts for yourself (I use M and U quite a lot). Thanks!

Yeah, I love the double key shortcuts. I wish more software used this.

Hey Jamie, Thanks for the Tip. Can we get a video on how you build that object. It will make a great tutorial, as it will cover all aspects of modeling. Thanks again. (trini)

Wooooh! That Carb was about 6 hours of Boolean after Boolean after, well you get the idea. It would be a very long boring tutorial. Perhaps I could look at it from a technique point of view.
