Left click select everywhere

Left click select is now default, fine but then why we have now to right click into timeline ?

My proposal is to revert left click select in editor to be more consitent with blender itself and the reste of the industry.

Technically, changing frame is not selecting anything, what you select on the timeline are keyframes and markers.

But I agree, what left click users want usually is "left click for everything that's an action with what i see on screen" I think this is something that developers will or would want to work on, since they made left click to work both with actions and selection in other places, so it should be the same for the timeline. You could try to report it and see if it sticks

Looks like this is part of the plan for the Industry Compatible Keymap

To properly support LMB-select in Timeline and Dopesheet, we need to add the ability to differentiate between dragging the playhead 'grabber' and dragging inside the editor to box-select.
