Feature Request: Combine Keyboard Modifiers to Open Multicam Sequences vs Nested Sequences

So I worked with multicam sequences alot, and one workflow thing that would be super helpful is that the keyboard modifier to double click and open nested sequences and multicam sequences in your timeline shoud be the same keyboard modifier key! I use a lot of nested sequences inside of multicam clips, and I hate having to change my keyboard modifer dependant on what type of clip it is when I want to dive into a multicam sequence to a nested sequence to make changes to the base level clip.

 

Right now, (at least on windows) to open a multicam sequence with your mouse in the timeline - This is done by holding control, and double clicking on a multicam clip.

 

But for a nested sequence, you have to hold the Option key and double click on it.

 

I don't care which direction the change happens, but there should only be one keyboard modifer that you hold and double click to open any type of sequence in your timeline. I hate having to think about this every time it doesnt work the way I expect it to!

 

Thank you!

Yes, it would be a good idea. Small correction, on a regular nested sequence you open it by double clicking, a multi-cam sequence you ctrl-double-click.

@MyerPjI just realized that is true, but option double clicking also works for nested comps for some reason. So really the solution would be to either get rid of ctrl double clicking on multicam sequences, or if it needs to be there for some esoteric reason I'm not thinking of, also make ctrl double clicking work on regular nested sequences!

Again, small correction, (I was trying to do it last time without mentioning it) there is no 'Option' key on a PC, it's Alt.
