Is there a shortcut I can use to automatically select the child bones?

GVis

Hello, when I select only one of the nested bones, only one bone is selected. As in the picture below.

However, since there are nested bones, is there a shortcut that I can use to automatically select the child bones when I select any bone? Sometimes there can be too many bones, so it is a bit tiring to select these bones one by one by pressing the "CTRL" key. Can you help me with this?

Thank you.

GVis Among the available hotkeys, which by default have no key assigned, there is the hotkey for selecting all descendant bones:

You can set any key here and enable this hotkey by pressing the Reload button in the Spine Settings window or restarting Spine.

For your information, the hotkey Select - Child Bones selects only the direct child of the selected bone(s), so if you want to select even the child bones that the direct child bone has, as you have shown in the screenshot, use the Select - Descendant Bones hotkey.

Misaki I found the shortcut .txt file. When I select my bone with the left mouse button while holding down the Alt key, I want the lower bones to be selected together. I wrote it like this.

Select - Descendant Bones: alt + ctrl

However, Spine 2d gives an error every time the program opens saying "Errors occurred while reading the hotkeys.txt file:" And I couldn't activate the shortcut key.

Next to that is an Open Log button. Read the log to see the error.

The hotkeys are not "something + mouse click", they are "press these keys to take the action". ctrl and alt are modifier keys. You can't specify only modifier keys. You need to specify optional modifiers and then a key name:

The reason you can't define actions + mouse click is that Spine has many mouse click actions and modifiers. It takes careful balance to keep them all working and not conflicting, so they can't be configurable.

Nate I was able to get the shortcut key. Thanks for your help.
