Timeline feature requests

[sebastian_grusCV9QR]

Hello all,

I have some requests for the Timeline that I think would make using the program much more enjoyable, especially in large assemblies:

1. When activating the root component of an Assembly, scroll the Timeline to center it on the Timeline Marker. Currently when you do this the Timeline view jumps to either the beginning (if the Marker is not at the end of the Timeline?) or the end (if the Marker is at the end?), which makes editing multiple components at multiple locations in the Timeline very annoying.

2. Allow Rolling the Timeline Marker to a group. Pretty self-explanatory - when you right-click a feature, the menu has an option to jump the Marker to right after the feature, but not when you right-click a group. Expanding the group, rolling the Marker to the last member of the group, and collapsing the group is a very tedious process.

3. Fix the seemingly-random teleportation of Features when dragged on the Timeline. I very often have problems with moving features on the Timeline, especially when moving them so far that the Timeline view needs to be scrolled. Some movements work OK, some don't go through without any message or warning or error, and most seem to teleport the selected Features to some random place on the Timeline. The only consistent behavior I've noticed is that while click-dragging a Feature (or several at once) into the edge of the Timeline view will scroll the view and display the marker that denotes where the Features will be moved to, upon mousebutton release the features will never go where the marker is. Moving the same Features a little bit, manually scrolling the Timeline view, then moving the features a bit more, works fine but takes an absurdly long time.

4. Allow Timeline controls to be bound to keystrokes. This would make navigation much faster and reduce the risk of accidentally clicking Play instead of Next Step.

While these issues aren't program- or design-breaking, they're a large obstacle to working quickly in Fusion and I would be very happy to see some of them resolved.
