How to deselect an animation in UMG, when there's a lot of them?

How do I deselect an animation when there’s no empty space left below the animations?

I usually deselect an animation using the empty space below my UI animations in the menu on the left, but now I have a lot of animations and there’s no empty space left. Therefore I’m unable to deselect the animation quickly. Every time I have to close the widget blueprint and open it again for it to deselect.

Anyone knows how to do that?

Try control + left click.

@jay001020, thanks for trying to help me.

Pressing Ctrl + Left click doesn’t deselect an animation for me, it kinda does the same as if you press left click.

I’m using UE 5.5.

haha, this made me laugh tbh :smiley: I had to check it for myself, you’re right, it’s really hard to deselect an animation if you have the whole thing filled up.

I didn’t discover any buttons orshortcuts, but by clicking around I’ve found these workarounds, maybe you’ll find them more convient:

  1. stretch the Animation panel so that it’s bigger and the empty field appears.

  1. add new animation, select it, then delete it. (actually it deselects an animation when you finish naming the new animation, but I guess you’d want to delete it either way)

3. type anything in the search window. If no results are found it deselects the animations.

Hey, @lordlolek, resizing the animation panel doesn’t work for me, I’ve got a lot of animations so there’s no space at all. Though adding and deleting that animation works for me, as it’s pretty fast.

Thanks!
