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 6.0.3 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+) |
Toolbar Position
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)
