Hotkey for frame stepping timelines

Hi there!

Are there keyboard buttons (hotkeys) for frame stepping timelines in Unreal 5? Basically doing what these (see image) buttons do but with keyboard input.

This article implies there is such a thing for the Sequencer: Tips, Tricks, and Shortcuts | Unreal Engine 4.27 Documentation
But I’d want it for animation sequences and anim montages. And it would be great for any timeline to have the same framestepping functionality :slight_smile:

So does this exist and I’ve just not found it yet? Or is there some way to create this functionality? Or is this a feature request? :smiley:

Thanks!

In the Editor Preferences → Keyboard Shortcuts I found this:

Let me know if this helped.

Thanks, @EliasWick!

I found this as well before posting but it seems to only cover Curve Editor and Sequencer. My request is to have this in other (maybe all) instances where there’s is a timeline. Personally I find myself wanting to framestep the timelines of animation sequences and montages a lot, for instance, but as far as I can tell there’s no hotkeys for doing this.

Could this be achieved some how? :slight_smile:

Thanks!

Unless there is a proper key binding or a hidden one, you would likely have to modify the source build code to add one.

Thanks for your reply, @EliasWick! (and sorry for my slow one) :slight_smile:
