The following command returns the 3D View areas list with enabled Local View mode:

[area for area in bpy.context.screen.areas if area.type =='VIEW_3D' and area.spaces[0].local_view] # [bpy.data.screens['Layout']...Area] |
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.
The convenient Blender 2.7 feature to remove duplicated vertices “Remove Doubles” has disappeared from the Blender 2.80 menu. In 2.8 it was renamed to “By Distance” and moved to the Vertex – Merge Vertices menu.
In Blender 2.83 this menu was moved to the context menu, activated by the right mouse click. And quick call by the “m” hot-key.
To get the vertex coordinates in the scene global coordinate system when the object’s scale was not applied, we need to multiply the local vertex coordinates by the object world transformation matrix:

object = bpy.data.objects['_MY_OBJECT_'] v_local = object.data.vertices[_VERT_NUMBER_].co # local vertex coordinate v_global = object.matrix_world @ v_local # global vertex coordinates |
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.

Blender color themes can be configured manually, but it is much convenient to install already prepared custom theme.
To install a new color theme to Blender you need:
In order to resize the T- or N-panel of the Blender UI, you just need to hold the edge of the panel with the mouse and drag it left or right. However, in this case, you can only change the size of the panel itself, but not the interface elements on it.
To change elements size and the font size of the panel, you need:
This works not only for the side panels but also for all the “Properties” window.
To return changed UI size back – press the “Home” key.
The coordinate axes widget in the viewport window can be switched to a simple and familiar look, like in Blender 2.7.
To do that:
When deleting objects with pressing the “x” keyboard key, Blender shows the confirmation dialog:
To delete objects immediately without confirmation:
The “shift+r” key combination, which repeats a perfect action, works not only with editing a mesh but also with the Blender interface. For example, with this key shot, we can simply move the modifier in the modifier stack up and down, without hunting the runaway arrows.
