Question

Can you set a keyboard shortcut to exit a symbol?

 Does anyone know of a way to set a keyboard shortcut for this little back arrow in the navigation bar above the stage? I don't know the name of this button so am not sure how to assign a shortcut to it.

 

I use a "enter graphic at current frame" plugin all the time and it would be great to have the ability to "exit graphic". Would make navigating nested symbols a little faster.

    Hi.

     

    You can use the shortcut Cmd/Ctrl + E to go back to the main timeline view or you can assign a shortcut to a JSFL command that contains the following instruction:

    an.getDocumentDOM().exitEditMode();

     

    Please read this topic for more details:

      I'm finding the Cmd/Ctrl+C does work on my mac. Am I doing something wrong?

      I also want to step back throw the nested symbols and not go all the way back to the main timeline. 

      Is there a way to do this?
