Extract text from Blockbench keymaps (BBKEYMAP)
To convert BBKEYMAP keymaps to another format, you need Blockbench or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Application Settings File" file type, you need software like Blockbench or a similar tool.
A .bbkeymap file is a custom keymap created by Blockbench, a popular open-source 3D model editor used extensively for Minecraft modding. It stores the specific keyboard shortcuts assigned to various software tools and functions. Because the .bbkeymap extension is tailored exclusively to Blockbench, it has a major disadvantage: your operating system will not natively recognize it. Without Blockbench installed, double-clicking the file will simply result in a blank, unassociated file icon and an error message. Furthermore, standard online document converters often fail to process it because they do not recognize the obscure extension.
However, beneath the proprietary extension, the file is simply plain text structured as standard JSON data.
If you need to share these shortcuts, read them on a mobile device, or parse them in a script, the best conversion targets are standard JSON or plain TXT files. If you want to print a physical cheat sheet of your custom shortcuts, converting the data into a PDF document is the most practical solution. Always remember that because this file only contains keyboard settings, it is physically impossible to convert it into a 3D model format like OBJ or BBMODEL.
Convert.Guru analyzes your BBKEYMAP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert BBKEYMAP file to INI, CFG, CONF, CONFIG, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, ENV, PROPERTIES or RC, you can use Blockbench or similar software from the "3D Software Shortcut Configurations" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert ZSHRC, CONF, RCFILE, GITCONFIG, RC, PLIST, BASHRC, CONFIG, PROFILE, INI, PREFS or CFG files to BBKEYMAP, try Blockbench or another comparable tool in the "3D Software Shortcut Configurations" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our BBKEYMAP converter.
