This menu contains options that let you jump to specific locations in the Timeline view, move the Timeline view to specific regions and more. All options work in either Dope Sheet mode or F-Curve mode.

Use this option to make the Timeslider jump to the first or last key/Motion Clip.
Frame Marker
Use this option to make the Timeslider jump to the next or previous Marker.
Use this option to make the Timeslider jump to the first or last marker.
Selecting this option will open a small dialog window in which a marker name can be entered, to which the Timeslider will then jump.
When the cursor is placed over this option in the menu a list with all available Markers will be displayed. Select a Marker to which the Timeslider should be set. The Timeslider view will also be centered on that Marker.
If the Timeslider is located between 2 Markers, this command will set the preview range to precisely between these Markers. If the Timeslider is located in front of or behind the last Marker, the preview range or the preview range end will be set to the scene start or scene end, respectively.
With these commands you can switch the preview range, including the Timeslider, to the previous or next Marker. The respective preview range length will be aligned to the next following Marker. You will jump from one Marker to the next and the preview range will be adjusted automatically.
You can subdivide the animation in any number of smaller portions using the Markers and easily jump to these using these commands. Since the Timeslider is included in the switch, you can switch between Markers while the animation is playing.
