Where is Sequencer "Keep Playback Range in Section Bounds" playback option now?

[Sequencer] I couldn’t locate “Keep Playback Range in Section Bounds” command in Playback Options button in current UE 4.22 build. According [official sequencer reference][1] it must be here but it’s not in real. Is it bug or it could be done with some hotkeys at least for now?

That’s a feature that was intended only for the UMG Timeline, so it’s been removed from the Level Sequence UI. We removed it because it was causing some confusion with users because they could not change their playback range by hand. Can you describe your use case?

Thank you for clarification! My use case is based on my After Effects experience where I used to use shortcuts for track area navigation/modifications. While most of the UE4 Sequencer shortcuts are ok I still can’t quickly place Playback Range Start and End time markers at the start/end of currently selected track. Brackets shortcuts “[” and “]” are ok but only for current time and not with track ends. Is it possible to add shortcuts may be like Shift +"[" & Shift + “]” to set current time marker to track start and end frames respectivly, so then we can use just brackets shortcut to do its work.
p.s.: I can make a clearer proposal if this one looks unclear.

If I understand what you’re asking you can use the shortcuts to jump to the previous and next selected key or section bounds of the selected track (or all tracks, if nothing selected). With that, you can jump to the start/end and then use the bracket hotkeys to set the playback start/end ranges. Hope that helps.
