Quick Tips.

Use The Tilde (~) Key for Camera Control

The ~ key gives you the camera control options that also live on the number pad. If you don’t have a numpad, don’t worry - the ~ key (usually to the left of the number 1 on a keyboard) will help you.

The Camera Pie Menu

F9 for Adjust Last Operation

Many operations give you a little menu to edit their specifics with, in the bottom left corner of the viewport.

The Last Operation Menu

Every Blender user knows that it goes away a little too easily - click off the selection, and just like that the menu is gone! Don’t hit Undo just yet. Instead, press the F9 key (or go to Edit > Adjust Last Operation). This will open the menu back up! All is not lost!
