‌ Control-drag or -click to change the value slowly for fine-tuning.

New, Open, Save, Undo, Redo. Buttons. Right-clicking the Undo/Redo menu items opens a menu listing all the available undo or redo operations, so you can click once to easily undo the most recent 5, for example. A preference in the User Interface area can request that the list always be shown, which can be easier than thinking about left or right click. There are also tooltips that show the top undo or redo operation, especially for the legacy mode. In aggregate the "new" way will likely be more effective.

Forward/Backward ( / ). Button. Changes the current playback and tracking direction.

Reset Time . Button. Resets the timebar so that the entire shot is visible.

Fill . Button. The camera viewport is reset so that the entire image becomes visible. Shift-fill sets the zoom to 1:1 horizontally.

The default key for this button is HOME, with the same combinations of shift and control keys.
