  • Can I select the visible comp (via keyboard?)

    Posted by Ace Billet on August 16, 2005 at 10:27 am

    Say I have a comp with about 100 layers, is there any way (keyboard shortcut)
    to select the comp that’s visible in the comp window from the list,
    or do I have to look for it ‘manually’ ?

    cheers

    Not quite sure I understand the question… do you mean select the “layer” that’s visible in the comp window? You can select any layer by entering it’s layer number on the keypad. Another way (althought it’s not a keyboard shortcut) is to right click (Control click on Mac if you don’t have a 2 button mouse) in the comp window and from the context menu choose SELECT then the name of the layer you want.
