Now that it is dockable and flexible in size, it is now possible to have button that only show up conditionally. But: I would like to have does features in a separate merge request. (moving the code will have the benefit that it is easier to tweak the UI) I like these ideas "for going forward"/"long therm goal", but currently, this is "out of scope". I will also map the buttons to the input driver. Also note: If I follow the VCR style, the buttons will most likely be below the inputs. Move to end had me puzzled for a moment - my animations tend to be cyclic, but offcourse: creating non-cycling animations like an "exploding assembly" is totally valid. With Kind regards, Michael Frey
