AndreasFurster Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hello, I'm a little confused about using the scroll wheel in the layers panel. It seems that you are only able to scroll if you follow this steps: First there must be no scrollbar Than you have to expand a group so there will be a scrollbar Than you can scroll Is this something that will be fixed? It will be awesome if you can use the arrow keys to go up and down, and expand layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hi AndreasFurster I'm not getting issue with scrolling the layers panel here I;m afraid. Can I confirm that you are on the latest beta 12? Also which OS are you using? Does this only happen when opening an existing file or does it occur on new documents tool. If it's an existing file is it only a specific file? The idea for using the arrow keys to navigate is a good one, but the arrow keys are used for nudging objects so this would go against this behaviour slightly as you would not be able to select a layer in the layers tab then nudge, it would navigate the layer panel instead.

AndreasFurster Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hi Chris, Thanks for your reply! :) With another file (or after I reopened AD) the problem was resolved! I understand the problem with the arrow keys. I used to work in Gimp where you have to click (focus) anywhere in the document (or the space around it) to move the object. Or when you click in the layers panel you can choose or expand layers. I've a file with a lot of nested groups, so it would just be a lot faster if I can use arrow keys.

AndreasFurster Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 I also think it would be great if you click an element which is inside a group, the group will expand and the layers panel will navigate to that layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Ingram Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 If you right-click an object in the document, you can go to "Find in Layers Panel" which will do what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
