Navigation Buttons

Scene Pilot Pro adds Back and Forward buttons to Unity's main toolbar for quick object selection history navigation, similar to a web browser.

Requirement - Main toolbar buttons require Unity 6.3 or later. On earlier versions, use keyboard shortcuts instead.

Not the same as Places - These buttons navigate through your object selection history (which objects you clicked). For navigating between camera bookmarks, use the Back/Forward buttons in the Scene Pilot Pro toolbar overlay or see Places.

How It Works

Every time you select a different object in the scene, Scene Pilot Pro records that selection. The main toolbar buttons let you step back and forward through this history, just like a browser.

Button	Action	Keyboard Shortcut
Back	Go to previous object selection	`Alt+Left` (or `Shift+Alt+Left` in Unity 6.0+)
Forward	Go to next object selection	`Alt+Right` (or `Shift+Alt+Right` in Unity 6.0+)

The buttons appear on the left side of the main toolbar by default. You can reposition them by right-clicking the toolbar area.

Selection History

Stores up to 50 selections in a circular buffer
History is global across all scenes during the session
Buttons are automatically enabled/disabled based on history position
Selecting a new object after going back clears the forward history (browser behavior)
Click the dropdown arrow between the Back and Forward buttons to see the full selection history list and jump to any previous selection directly
