Timeline zoom to view all, instead of portion?

Is there a one-click or keyboard combo to fit the whole animation range on screen, especially after being zoomed in?

Unfortunately, the Timeline controls are a bit limited. I mainly only ever use the zoom buttons in the right corner, RMB to pan, and L/R arrow keys to navigate.

According to the manual on page 540, Auto Zoom is Alt Shift X. The term 'Auto Zoom' suggests 'zoom to fit' or 'zoom to selection' but it's vague so I don't know exactly what it's supposed to do, and for me anyway it doesn't seem to do anything.

That only works for the motion graph, and it does zoom to fit.

Ah! Thanks Wes.

Funny, I feel like I brought that up before, years ago, and you gave me the same answer back then. Or maybe this is a glitch in the matrix. (There is a black cat sitting next to me.) :)

Probably the matrix thing. :wink:
