AnimationClipView

Remarks

Doc 11's row for this asset is "timeline + curve editor + event track", and the two views are two modes over one document rather than two panels. A dope sheet answers "when does anything happen" and a curve editor answers "what does this number do"; showing both at once in a docked panel gives each of them half the height it needs, and every editor that tried it grew a splitter people immediately dragged to one end.

⚠ The events are a track on the dope sheet rather than a strip of their own. An event's whole meaning is when it happens relative to the motion — a footstep is placed against the frame the foot lands — so it has to share the ruler, the zoom and the playhead with the keys. A second widget with its own scroll would be two rulers to keep lined up by eye.

⚠ Every drag commits through the document rather than mutating the asset. The timeline moves its own TimelineKey objects while the pointer is down and reports once, on KeysMoved; that report is the edit, which is what makes dragging twenty keys one undo entry.
