Managing Shortcuts

Export and import shortcuts for Timeflow

This feature may be used to save backups of Timeflow shortcuts, or to manage different settings for different workflows or projects.

Buttons for managing shortcuts can be found in the Timeflow Preferences

From the main menu select Edit/Preferences... select Timeflow and scroll to the bottom.

Export Shortcuts

To export your current shortcuts for Timeflow, select from the main menu: Tools/Timeflow/Editor/Export Shortcuts

This generates a text file in CSV format containing an alphabetical listing of all mapped and unmapped shortcuts for Timeflow.

Please note that making changes directly to the exported file is discouraged and may result in the inability to import it.

Import Shortcuts

Previously exported settings to CSV can be reimported to replace the current shortcuts for Timeflow. To import a shortcuts file, form the main menu select:

Tools/Timeflow/Editor/Import Shortcuts

This will prompt you to locate and open the TimeflowShortcuts.csv file. Check the Console window for results of the import. Any settings that fail to import will appear as a warning.

Once the shortcuts have been imported, make sure to check the Shortcuts Manager (Edit/Shortcuts...) to check for any conflicts that may need resolution.

Reset Shortcuts to Default

Use this command if you wish to revert all Timeflow shortcuts to their default original settings. This clears any custom overrides pertaining to Timeflow, but does not alter any other keyboard shortcuts.

Key Binding Conflicts in Unity 2021

There's a bug in Unity 2021's shortcut system that calls into conflict commands pertaining to different contexts. Therefore, it is a known issue that many of the Timeflow shortcuts will raise conflict warnings.

✅ Solutions

• When these occur, you may either select which command to perform or rebind it.

• If you are able to update to Unity 2022 or later, the problem is fixed and the same command can be used in separate windows without conflicts.
