Simply put:  when trying to copy/paste properties between keyframes, the property field being copied from/pasted too will catch the key event (and mess up your animation) unless you've cleared focus by clicking somewhere outside the field.  This is compounded somewhat by the fact that pressing enter/return while an input is focused doesn't clear focus as with many applications.
 
For this reason, timeline controls are ideally constrained to keys that are considered invalid inputs on the most commonly used input fields.
 
IMO, the "QWERT" row would be much better suited for timeline manipulation, though I suppose it could also be a togglable(toggleable?) option.

Hi all,
i desperately looking for some help for the slow performance of spriter on my mac, it is a macbook pro with 16 gb ram and using a Geforce GT 650 graphic card, i have the latest spriter b11 running and turn off the open GL but still experiencing slow performance.
pls let me know is anyone has a solution for it.
many thanks

it's a definite possibility for the long term.
good idea. It was already going to have the spinboxes, but that's a good idea. Also, the angle control will have a wheel you can rotate with your mouse.
The current beta does have a 'protected selection' feature. You can drag, drop, and rotate a selected object even if it's behind others. only if you click a sprite on an area that doesn't overlap the currently selected object(s) will it change the selection.
yes, that's in there
yes, the next release will be native UI on Windows, Mac, and, Linux
yes, all of that is planned for the long term, and the groundwork is already layed for those features.
thanks for the kind words, and yes, we do want to work with the community to develop an ecosystem of some sort for both the animators and the developers.
the todolist is huge, but things are going very well on fronts.
working hard on the next version, and loving every minute of it.

Just wanted to link to this on the main forum for anyone who's been waiting on this:
