Preferences & shortcuts¶
Dope Sheet side panel (N)¶
In the Dope Sheet, open the side panel (N key) and find the dopesheetFlow tab. It groups the overlay's display settings:
| Setting | Effect | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Row Height | Height of the overlay's rows | — |
| Hover Preview Scale | Size of the floating preview (Alt+hover) | — |
| Scene | Shows/hides the Scene composite row | Off |
| Summary | Shows/hides the Summary composite row | On |
| Groups | Shows/hides the group header rows | On |
Hiding group rows without losing their layers
Unchecking Groups only hides each group's header row (no more group composite thumbnail) — its layers stay visible, displayed flat as if there had never been a group.
Add-on preferences¶
Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > dopesheetFlow lets you change the 3D scrubbing shortcut (Alt+M by default) — changes apply immediately, no restart needed.
