In a scene with a complex UI canvas it can be tedious to navigate to a specific object by expanding and collapsing the Hierarchy or clicking repeatedly in the Scene View until it selects the thing you want out of everything overlapping it.
This feature aims to speed up your workflow by allowing you to Ctrl + Right Click
on a UI object to open a context menu listing all its parents and children.
- Hover the mouse over an object in the menu to highlight its
RectTransform
in the scene view. - Click on an object in the menu to select it.
- The hotkeys to activate this feature can be customized in the Edit/Preferences window.
