How can we improve Character Animator?

← Character Animator

dragging the timeline horizontally by press spacebar

Adding a hand-tool (press spacebar, just like in AE) to drag the timeline horizontally. Thats a convenient way to navigate.

    I do see that pressing and holding spacebar in AE doesn't start playback. I'll see if we can match that behavior.

    BTW, Page Up and Page Down also work to page the timeline.

    @Dan
    Thanks for your feedback.
    It could work the way as in AE: Threr you can drag the time line by SPACE + MousebuttonDown AND you can start the playback (without mousedown)
    For me thst whould waork perfectly and it would be more constistent between the two programs.

    Because we use spacebar to start playback, we can't use it to pan the timeline. We do have timeline panning though.

    On a trackpad, you can use the two finger gesture for horizontal scrolling/panning. Shift + mousewheel will also pan the timeline.

    We use opt/alt to pan the scene panel, we could look into doing that for more fine control.
