  • Select Entire Hierarchy Shortcut

Hi guys,

Just as the title says , is there a shortcut \ hotkey to select the entire hierarchy? (Including bones, slots, attachments, constraints) Rather than expanding the entire tree and then manually holding SHIFT and dragging down to the last bone\constraint? 🙂

Thanks!

If you type in /.*/ in the search bar in the tree, it will perform a RegEx search that will match the entire hierarchy.
Next press Ctrl + Enter to select the next matching entry, which will be everything.

I don't really see how that would be useful though, what did you plan to do with it?

Thanks @Erikari, it doesn't seem to work for me. 🙁

It's just selecting individual objects as I press ENTER.

As for why I'm selecting an entire hierarchy, when I want to copy \paste an entire keyframe (including information on bones, slots, attachment, deformation, color etc) that's when I select all of the hierarchy. Is there a better way of doing that? :think:

Thanks!

My bad, the correct shortcut is actually Ctrl + Enter (in fact I did that, but then I wrote the other one) I've updated my comment so that the shortcut is now correct (:

As a matter of fact, the easiest way to copy a pose is to press Space to deselect everything, (and make sure the dopesheet isn't locked or filtered), then select the keyframe in the very first row of the frame you want to select (as this will select all the keyframes below), and copy it.

If you need to paste it in a different animation, you may need to press CTRL+SHIFT+L first, as this creates keys for all the active timelines, then copy the keyframes. (you can later undo the creation of extra keyframes after copying them).

the 'Space' tip was the perfect one! Thanks! 🙂

/.*/ => CTRL + ENTER selected EVERYTHING in the hierarchy, including all spine events and animations, so not as useful as 'Space' in an unfiltered dopesheet. Thank you! Saved me some extra work!

Note it's not great to key everything anyway. Much better to key only what you need, so ctrl+shift+L to key only that which is already keyed is usually what you want.
