🗄️What else is new? We have exposed the Region Pie toggle and assigned it to the default Bforartists hotkey 'T', also taking into account the Asset shelf included in Object mode and all node editors.

⏱️The Animation Editors will be getting a short hand access to the timeline! Along with footer controls.
The Timeline was removed, then added back by Blender, but they are still the same as the Dopesheet - so we made a header button to toggle the Dopesheet to Timeline mode.
