Why is the NLA Editor the Only Animation Editor in 2.8 Without a Hotkey? For some reason, when I click on the "Editor Type" button which appears to the left of any editor window header, the resulting editor window popup flickers and disappears as soon as my mouse is moved afterwards (probably a problem with my mouse and not Blender). So, as a workaround to this weirdness, I decided to familiarize myself with the editor window hotkeys, as this would bypass the problem by giving me access to the editor windows without the need for clicks. This works for all animation editors fine, provided I can remember the shortcuts, such as Shift-F6 for the Graph Editor/Driver Editor, etc. But the NLA has no such shortcut listed. I did some research and discovered that there was once such a shortcut in previous versions of Blender (Shift-Ctrl-F12 or something like that). I was going to try to create such a shortcut in 2.8 manually, but there would appear to be no way to right-click in the Editor Window popup and create a shortcut there. Where else would I create such a shortcut, using the UI? Failing a UI method, how else might I create a shortcut for the NLA editor window? Is there a preference file that I can edit manually? I'm running 2.82a on Ubunto Studio 19.10.
In Edit &gt; Preferences... &gt; Keymap &gt; Window you'll find the Shift+F* shortcuts as "Cycle Space Type Set". Open up one you don't use and change its type to "Nonlinear Animation". Or you can create a new shortcut and set it to screen.space_type_set_or_cycle, then add the type.
