Selection Modes

Overview

ScriptCompiler provides multiple ways to select points on the timeline. The primary method is box selection, and you can also use position and time cursors for more precise selection operations.

Box Selection

To select multiple points at once:

• Hold Shift and drag to draw a selection box
• All points within the box will be selected
• Click on empty space or press Escape to deselect

You can also click individual points to select them, or hold Ctrl and click to add or remove points from your selection.

Cursor-Based Selection

Position and time cursors provide another way to select points based on their position or time values:

• Press P to toggle position cursors
• Press T to toggle time cursors
• Press R to reset cursors

When cursors are active, you can select points that fall within the cursor range using Alt + B (select between cursors).

Selection Mode Cycling

Press M to cycle through different selection modes. These modes affect how cursor-based selection operations work:

Mode	Behavior
Replace	New selection replaces existing selection
Union	Add new points to existing selection
Intersection	Keep only points in both selections
Subtraction	Remove new points from existing selection
XOR	Toggle selection state of new points

The current selection mode is displayed in the interface when position or time cursors are active.
