Other Notes Player Press and hold Shift+Alt to skim - scrub/seek using the horizontal position of the mouse cursor without clicking and dragging.
Timeline While dragging shot or trimming, press and hold Alt to temporarily suspend snapping. On Linux, pressing Alt before dragging will usually move the app window; so, press Alt after you start dragging. Press and hold Shift+Alt to skim - scrub/seek using the horizontal position of the mouse cursor without clicking and dragging. Double-click a fade in/out control (circle) to toggle it between one second and none.

Double-click a regular keyframe curve/line to add or remove a keyframe. (Not all parameters support a curve/line for its keyframes.) Double-click a simple keyframe to toggle it between one second and none.
Mouse Wheel Playlist

Timeline and Keyframes
scroll horizontally* use Alt to scroll vertically use Shift to change track height use Ctrl (command on macOS) to zoom in/out (change time scale)
* NOTE: On macOS, in order to scroll Timeline or Keyframes horizontally with a mouse wheel (not Magic Mouse or track pad), you must also use one of the following:
Timecode fields—such as the prominent one at the bottom of the player—do not require you to enter a full timecode value. There are some short-hand ways to enter time values. First of all, a number with no colons (e.g., 100) is a frame number. Remember, frame numbers start at 0; so 100 is the 101-th frame! Including a colon (:) makes it interpret as timecode (HH:MM:SS:FF where FF = frames) or a clock value (HH:MM:SS.MS where MS = milliseconds or any fraction of a second). The difference between the two is that the last field is delimited by a colon or decimal point (a comma in some locales). Next, not all of the fields of the time value need to be included. For example, you can enter “::1.0” for one second. However, not all of the separators need to be included - they are evaluated from right-to-left. Thus, for our example, “1:” is short for one second; however, “:1.0” or “:1.” is also one second but not “1.0” because it does not contain a colon. “:1.5” is one and a half seconds. “1::” is one minute. “1:30:” is one minute and thirty seconds. “1:::” is one hour.
