Which key combination slides the active area on the timeline?

• A. Ctrl Alt LMB
• B. Ctrl Alt RMB
• C. Ctrl Alt MMB
• D. Ctrl L Alt LMB

Answer: (A)

Sliding the active area on the timeline means shifting the visible window of frames along the timeline without changing the current scrub position. The way to perform this is to hold both Control and Alt and drag with the left mouse button on the timeline. This action moves the entire playback range so you can reframe what you’re working with while keeping your current frame in context. It’s especially useful when you want to bring a different portion of the animation into view without losing your place. Using the left button alone typically scrubs the current time, and other mouse-button combinations are linked to different timeline actions, so this specific Ctrl+Alt+LMB drag is the correct method to slide the active area.
