I believe that it would actualy make sense if jumping to next keyframe would jump to the next "global" keyframe if there's nothing selected at all, just like within Grease Pencil, if there's no layer selected it then jumps to the next keyframe from that whole GP object.

What's the purpose of the icon then? And what was the purpose of removing it? Seems like it was removed either unintentionally or "just because".

• "scale_char" should be the reserved name "scale", and rot_char should be "rotation", better if the attribute names stay consistent

The reason I added _char is I was going to add support for rotating whole words and maybe lines too, but I'll skip that and rename the attribute.

Hmm, I guess we may need more testing to see if people really need to have that feature, but yeah, seems like the right step for now.

I fully support Peter's proposal of moving the sequencer out of the scene. I've been thinking a lot lately about how the sequencer fits into the Blender file/scene hierarchy (and I'll make a mockup of some ideas I have on this and on the compositor as soon as I can).
