"Home," key should focus on selected keyframes if selected.

Something I really like about Blender is how if you press the "Home," key in any of the keyframe editors (timeline, dope sheet, or graph editor) the view will center the keyframes.

One thing that frustrates me a little is how I can't easily zoom into selected keyframes. If I have a big animation, it might be helpful to have functionality where if keyframes are selected, then the "Home," key centers the view on those, but if there are no keyframes selected, then "Home," centers all keyframes.

For what it's worth, this functionality is already available when you press <kbd>Numpad .</kbd>.

True. Does it have a shortcut for users without numpad though?

* @-L0Lock- * Easy enough to reassign. I don't think I'd want it on Home personally.

* @Jason van Gumster * Actually this is all I wanted. I rebound "Num ." to "Mouse 5," in the 3D viewport awhile ago, so when I pressed Mouse 5 and it didn't work in the graph editor, I just assumed the functionality wasn't there. Thanks for pointing that out

This should be the same as the viewport shortcut for selection focus, for consistency.

* @Ge Ro * True, I wasn't thinking of that. They should still at least have it
