In Blender 2.81 the File Browser opens in a new window by default. To configure it always open in the current window – open the “Preferences” window, press the “Interface” button and in the “Temporary Windows” group change the “File Browser” parameter to “Full Screen”.
Blender Outliner supports a sequential selection of a number of objects or collections – hold the left mouse button and move the cursor in a required direction.
Blender supports opening projects by drag and drop. You can hold the *.blend file with the mouse, drag it to the Blender window and choose: open the entire file (replacing the currently open project), add or link objects from the dragged file to the current project.
The panel with system disks list is collapsed in the “File Browser” window by default. But some times it is not convenient.
Not to expand it manually every time we can make a simple modification:
To increase the speed and convenience of working with the “Pie Menu” in Blender you can use its “autoclick” option. To use it press the desired “Pie Menu” call keys, don’t release them, move the mouse cursor in the direction of the desired item, and only then release the buttons on the keyboard. You don’t need to click on a menu item, the choice is made automatically.
In Blender 2.80 the animation starts/stops by pressing the spacebar key. The pop-up form for operators searching is now called by pressing the F3 key.
In the latest Blender 2.80 builds, the visibility control icons are disappeared from the Outliner window.
They were not removed, they are just hidden from the interface by default. To return them to their usual place click the button with the funnel image and mark the icons you need to display.
After closing the dialog box, the icons will appear in their places.

In Blender 2.8 the selection mode has been changed. The “select all” command is still mapped to pressing the “a” key, but the “deselect all” command in Blender 2.8 is now mapped to a double-click of the “a” key or to the “alt + a” key combination. However, it is easy to return the familiar selection mode from Blender 2.7 – selecting and deselecting all by pressing one “a” key.
To do this, in the “Preferences” window in the “Keymap” section type “object.select” in the search field. In the search results in the “Object mode” section in the line with “a” key snapping set the “Toggle” value to the “Action” parameter.
This will return the familiar selection in object mode.
