The is the most frustrating downside - the side effect of all major software overhauls - all of a sudden the wealth of tutorials and guides are out of date!

It'd be interesting if Blender had an interaction recorder for tutorials, which could be turned on and off as desired.

The user would make and record a tutorial entirely in blender, and an interaction text file would be saved.

When a new version comes out, the interactions could be replayed, with the new menu tree, effectively re-rendering the whole video.

Doing so could also allow a user to upload a file summarizing their key bindings, and have any customizations shown in the tutorial.

It wouldn't be perfect, but it'd be neat if it existed.
