Selection

To select all items in the scene (including camera and lights) hit A.

To deselect all items, hit A again.

Right-click an object to select it.

Delete Objects

Hit X to delete an object and then click Delete.

Objects Properties

Select an object, then in the panel on the right select the box tab. You can set the Location, Scale and Rotation exactly with XYZ world coordinates here.

Add Objects

You can hit "Space" and start typing in "Add" to add a cube, sphere, monkey, etc.

Or you can hit SHIFT + A to add from a selection.

Move / Rotate / Scale

You can grab (move) an object with the G key, rotate with R and scale with S. Hit Escape to cancel the transform.

While transforming, you can push the X, Y and Z keys to only transform on one axis.

Tools & Properties

The tool bar on the left can be opened with the T key, and the properties drawer on the right can be opened with the N key.

Add Modifiers

You can add modifiers on the panel in the right, under the Wrench tab. You can also select an object, hit "Space", and then type "Add Modifiers".

ThreeJS Exporter

Once you install the blender addon, go to File > User Preferences and choose Addons, then search for "three". Check the box on the far right of the ThreeJS addon in the list. Finally hit "Save User Preferences" in the bottom of the window so you don't have to do this every time.

Numpadless Keyboards

You can go to File > User Preferences, Input, then select "Emulate Numpad".

Now you can use 0-9 number keys to change camera views.

Zoom To Selection & Rotate Around Selection

Go to File > User Preferences and choose "Interface" — you can enable Rotate Around Selection so that rotation is locked to selected objects.

With a numpad you can hit Numpad . to zoom toward a selected object.

Without a numpad, you can go to File > User Preferences and select Input, then search in the top right for "View Selected" and remap "Numpad ." to ".".
