  • [Feature Request] Highlight edited & created keyframes

Hi 🙂

Highlight the keyframe in dopesheet which are being edited / have been edited / new key was created.

For example when I select a bone,
I have Rotate tool selected
and I edit the rotation in viewport by click&dragging the mouse,
it would highlight the keyframe (it would highlight it in the moment when I start editing it and after I release the mouse button, it would stay highlighted).

If I have “Auto Key” turned on - create a new keyframe, highlight it and keep it highlighted like it would be if I just selected it in the dope sheet..

So basically,
highlight a keyframe in dopesheet every time I have edited a keyframe in the viewport or in the "Transform" panel by changing numbers.
Wether an existing keyframe was edited, or a new was created.

This is how it works in AE.
It makes the navigation much easier because I can see which keyframe/s is being edited, get back to it, see what's happening etc etc.

Here is a short video about it:

Don't know how much work would be in this, I doubt it would be an extreme amount. We'll consider it 🙂 thanks.

When you say highlight I assume you mean selected, as if the keyframe were clicked. Do we want to change which keys are selected in the dopesheet when you change the value of a key? Would this ever be annoying?

Yes, by highlight I mean selected, as it was clicked.

As far as I know, if you have selected multiple keyframes somewhere else at the timeline, when you change the value (move / rotate the object), those keyframes got deselected anyway.

Hmmm... I don't think that it could be annoying, I think it would be better.

Currently the selection in the dopesheet is not affected by manipulating bones.

What do you think, Shiu?

I don't see a problem with this since keys are deselected when a bone is selected in the viewport anyways.

Oh I would feel like...
