    Hi, Is there other way to edit animation clips in Inspector other than drop down list?
    Now, when I have 250+ clips, then I have to tediously and slowly wait for the list to scroll down and reveal that one animation I'm looking for? Any ideas? Thanks

    I can think of a few (S***ty) workarounds:
    • Pressing a letter key might jump you through the list to the first entry starting with that letter.
    • Make a separate Animator Controller to just put in the clips you want to edit. Or make a script that implements IAnimationClipSource so you can just throw them all in an array instead of needing to make lots of states and stuff.
    • It would probably be possible to do some editor scripting using reflection to access the animation window so you can make a better interface for it, but that would take a bunch of effort.

    Can resonate with this issue. It is brutal to find your callback function. Should have forward search matching.

    Wat about having a nice tool with a tree-like controls, like the new Input System has?
