Delete
Deletes the selected objects or elements from the current scene without copying them to the
clipboard.
Select All, Deselect All

Select Children
Adds the children of the selected object(s) to the selection. This is especially useful when you want to

the Animation toolbar, Timeline or Attribute manager, keys are only recorded for child objects if they
are also selected. This command gives you a quick way to select them.

Hide Objects
Makes the selected objects hidden in the viewport by setting their top visibility dot to the red.
