enter image description hereIs there a keyboard shortcut for centering the 3D-cursor in the current view? The cursor itself should stay in the same spot in space (i.e. its coordinates shouldn't change).

Right now I have to manually center the cursor using shift + press scroll wheel, which is tedious.

ADDED: the GIF shows that "Center view to cursor" does not work. The cursor remains out of center (left lower corner)

There is a menu for that: "Center view to cursor"

enter image description here

But no predefined shortcut. You can assign the one you want with a right click on the menu (or add it to the quick favorites):

But that won't move it the view center is locked to 3d cursor's location:

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks, but before asking the question, I had already tried "Center View to Cursor" in my project. It had NO effect. Weird, because now I tried it in a new project (the "Cube"), and it DOES work. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Maybe I've mistunderstood the question? What do you mean by " its coordinates shouldn't change" ? Should the view move or the cursor? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ No, you understood right. I'm now toggling between my existing project and a new, empty ("cube") project. In the first it doesn't work, in the second it does (?!) $\endgroup$
