Zoom in on channel editor with mouse X or Y scale independently

Support Basics & Interface

I know you can do this by grabbing the scroll bars, but is there a way to do this with the mouse wheel? Like by holding a button makes the wheel only scale X.

Or is there a rectangular selection zoom?

If you mean the graph editor, as in all editors that support it region zoom is bound to shift+b. I don’t think you can constrain the aspect ratio however. I remember being annoyed by this when I transitioned from Maya, but I don’t even think about it now. It would be sure nice to have, I’m not certain it is on the animation team’s agenda yet.

OK. Shift B is useful. I also just discovered using . to frame selection.

Thanks

I did know about Alt-B and Ctrl-B for clipping regions… but never heard of (or read about) Shift-B.

Thanks…

Even if cats do not have thumbs.

Would have expected this anywhere in the View menu…

…ohh it’s in View → Navigation → Zoom Region

I actually went to look for it in the menus and couldn’t find it. I assumed it was one of those million hidden things, but I guess I’m being too hard on poor Blender.

@leovfx my advice is to rebind “frame selected” to something closer to the left hand, assuming you are right-handed. I personally use alt+x
