Add "Close Timeline Panels To The Right"

[RyanSummers]

I am adamant about keeping my compflow in my projects going left to right so my Flowchart and Mini-Flowchart views match my open Timeline Panels and I would love to borrow Chrome's "Close other tabs to the right" option in After Effects.

I included a screenshot of the option from Chrome and where I'd love to see it be added in After Effects.

Bonus points if it could be mapped to a keyboard shortcut?

This should have been a feature years ago! Shocking it is not, yet...

Same with the flow! Can't believe I didn't make this feature request years ago.

Hi all,

Thank you for making this request and for your votes! We've got good news: check out the latest After Effects (Beta) builds (25.6.0.83 or higher) to try out new Close Timeline Panels to the Right & Left commands.

The new commands are available in a new sub-menu, along with the existing Close Other Panels in Group and Close Other Timeline Panels commands.

You are also able to assign the new commands to custom keyboard shortcuts of your choice. They are unassigned by default.

Please give the new commands a try and let us know how they're working for you. Thanks again for your request, we hugely appreciate the feedback and input.
Cheers,
- John, After Effects Engineering Team
