What is a BBKEYMAP file?

A BBKEYMAP file is a custom keymap created and used by Blockbench, an open-source 3D model editor. It contains JSON data that specifies what keyboard buttons perform certain Blockbench functions. Users can alter Blockbench's keymap and export their current keymap as a BBKEYMAP file from the program's Keybindings window.

Blockbench is a cross-platform 3D model editor. It is used primarily to create and edit block-based Minecraft models.

Blockbench allows users to customize the program's keymapping, using settings found in the Keybindings window (opened by selecting File → Preferences... → Keybindings...). For example, a user can change the shortcuts used to access Blockbench tools, perform view actions, import textures, transform a model, and so on.

If a user wants to transfer their custom keymappings between instances of Blockbench, they can do so by exporting their keymappings as a BBKEYMAP file. Each BBKEYMAP file is a plain text file, which saves users' keymappings as JSON data.

How do I export my Blockbench keymap as a BBKEYMAP file?

To export your current Blockbench keymap as a BBKEYMAP file:

  1. Select File → Preferences... → Keybindings....
  2. Select Export Keymap.
  3. Name and save your keymap as a BBKEYMAP file.

How to open a BBKEYMAP file

To use a BBKEYMAP file as a Blockbench (cross-platform) keymap:

  1. Open Blockbench.
  2. Select File → Preferences... → Keybindings...
  3. In the Keybindings window, select Load Keymap.
