Marker Shortcuts fills a specific gap: Blender has no quick keyboard route to timeline markers, and this add-on adds one through a two-step modal system. It's an initial 0.1.1 release under GPL v3, so early adopters can follow its direction through the developer's Discord.
Marker Shortcuts is a lightweight Blender add-on from 1P2D that assigns custom shortcut strings to timeline markers so you can jump to them by keyboard. Blender has no built-in quick way to jump to markers this way, and the add-on covers that with a two-step approach.
Jumping takes two steps. You press a trigger key to enter a modal state, then tap the shortcut set for the marker you want. The playhead moves after a timeout, which you can adjust in the add-on settings, or immediately when you press Enter; Esc cancels. Because it uses a modal listener rather than raw keymaps, shortcuts can be full strings: multi-digit numbers, multi-character names, or full words. You assign them from the add-on preferences or the Marker menu in the Dope Sheet, Graph Editor, NLA Editor, and Video Sequencer.
Bulk tools handle larger setups: Auto Numbering Setup prefixes markers and assigns matching numeric shortcuts, Remove Prefixes strips them, Marker to Shortcut turns marker names into shortcuts, and Delete All Shortcuts clears every assignment across scenes. Markers are handled at the scene level.
Marker Shortcuts is best for blender artists who work with timeline markers across the Dope Sheet, Graph Editor, NLA Editor, and Video Sequencer and want keyboard navigation between them.
Marker Shortcuts is completely free to download and use.
Marker Shortcuts is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so it fits current LTS setups and later releases. The add-on is small at around 8.5 KB and requires no special permissions to install. You can add it by dragging the downloaded file into Blender or installing it from disk through Blender's extension preferences. If you run a Blender build older than 4.2 LTS, the add-on falls outside its stated compatibility range, so check the developer's page before installing.
Marker Shortcuts uses a two-step modal process. You press your trigger key to enter a modal state, then tap the shortcut assigned to the marker you want. The playhead jumps after a timeout you can adjust in the add-on settings, or right away when you press Enter, and Esc cancels the action. Because it listens through a modal state rather than keymaps, shortcuts can be full strings such as multi-digit numbers, multi-character names, or full words, giving you room for many markers.
Marker Shortcuts lets you assign shortcuts from two places: the add-on preferences, or the Marker menu inside the Dope Sheet, Graph Editor, NLA Editor, and Video Sequencer. For larger sets, bulk tools speed things up. Auto Numbering Setup prefixes markers and assigns matching numeric shortcuts, Marker to Shortcut turns existing marker names into their shortcuts, Remove Prefixes strips number prefixes, and Delete All Shortcuts clears every assignment across all scenes. Markers themselves are handled at the scene level.
Marker Shortcuts is listed as free here and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It requires no special permissions to install and weighs about 8.5 KB. For the current licensing terms and any future changes, check the developer's page on the Blender extensions platform. Issues can be reported through the developer's Discord, which is a practical route for a recent 0.1.1 initial release.
