Blender 2.80h no it's something different

Installed blender 2.80 on Thursday August 1, 2019. It looks nice, but over two dozen hotkeys have been changed. The entire program looks and feels like an entirely different program. Yes, I'd like to learn another new program. Fortunately, there are some things you can do.

Upon starting Blender from a shortcut (not a file) for the first time, you can choose the keymap mode.You can use right-click instead of left for selection, and use the old 2.79 keymap. If you'd like to change back later, the preferences have a keymap tab with a dropdown in the top center. Another option (windows) is to go to %APPDATA%\Blender Foundation\Blender  find the userpref and delete it, then re-open blender. The preferences are now found under the edit tab.

There are layout tabs at the top. You can find one that works for you, or right-click one to duplicate it. Modify the duplicated layout to something you like, then double-click the tab to rename it. Remember to save your startup file to keep the layout changes. This can be done under File >> Defaults.

Altogether, it looks nice, but there are new features and changed to old features to learn.

You can fine more detailed information on the Blender Fundamentals 2.8 playlist.
