Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Animation/Channel Isolate and Frame

Channel Isolate and Frame
Isolates and frames a selected channel in the Graph Editor

UI location	Graph Editor > Channel > Isolate and Frame
Usage	Usage instructions: Select the channel Move your mouse to the Graph Editor Press ⇧ ShiftV or choose Channel > Isolate and Frame from the menu
Version	0.3.1	Author(s)	Jason van Gumster (Fweeb)
Blender	2.73	License	GPL
Category	Animation	Distribution	Extern
Note(s)	The operator *can* work with your mouse still in the Channels region, but not with the hotkey. Instead, you'll need to use the Space search feature and find "Isolate and Frame" there. Fortunately, Blender remembers your search, so subsequent uses can be pretty fast (Space > ↵ Enter).

Executable information

File name	animation_channel_isolate_and_frame.py
Current version download	https://github.com/Fweeb/blender_isolate_and_frame/archive/master.zip

Known Issues	Unfortunately, the hotkey will not work in the Channels region of the Graph Editor. For some reason, there's no way to set a hotkey that will work from there. In fact, Shift+V is actually assigned to a visibility toggle in that region, but it cannot be overridden. So, until that gets fixed, the fastest method is to use the Spacebar search workaround.
