When you are working on a specific animation task, turn off the unnecessary
options to focus the controller window on what you need to see.
NOTE The default auto-navigation setting for the Dope Sheet editor auto-expands
only to the node track for the currently selected object. This reduces the number
of tracks whose keys need to be displayed and also helps enforce the top-down
workflow for which the Dope Sheet editor is designed.
Interface
Selected Objects Only When this is on, the controller window displays the
tracks for highlighted objects only. Default=On.
Transforms Expands the Hierarchy list to display the highlighted object's
Transform track. Default=On.
XYZ Components Expands the highlighted object's Transform track to display
individual XYZ components contained in each Transform controller (such as
Position and Scale).
Limits Expands the highlighted object's Limits track to display its parameters
(such as Upper Limit and Lower Smoothing). To be used in conjunction with
the
Limit Controller on page 3181. Default=On.
Keyable Expands the highlighted object's Hierarchy list to display keyable
tracks. You must also enable Transform or XYZ Components to see results.

parameters (such as Height/Width/Length).
