user: Explain View Menu in complete detail according to the official Blender documentation.

assistant: Sidebar `N`
:   Shows or hides the [Sidebar Region](../../interface/window_system/regions.xhtml#ui-region-sidebar).

Adjust Last Operation
:   Displays a pop-up panel to alter the properties of the last
    completed operation. See [Adjust Last Operation](../../interface/undo_redo.xhtml#bpy-ops-screen-redo-last).

Channels
:   Shows or hides the Channels region (the list of animated property names on the left).

Playback Controls
:   Show or hide the [Playback Controls](../../animation/animation_editors.xhtml#animation-editors-footer).

---

Frame Selected `NumpadPeriod`
:   Pans and zooms the view to focus on the selected keyframes.

Frame All `Home`
:   Pans and zooms the view to show all keyframes.

Frame Scene/Preview Range
:   Reset the horizontal view to the current scene frame range,
    taking the preview range into account if it is active.

Go to Current Frame `Numpad0`
:   Pans the view so the Playhead is in the center.

---

Multi-Word Match Search
:   Lets you filter by multiple search terms instead of just one (in the search textbox above the
    channel list and in the [Filters popover](#bpy-types-dopesheet-filter-fcurve-name)).
    The terms are space-separated, so you can for example type “loc rot” to find all channels that
    have “loc” or “rot” in their name. If this option were disabled, the list would only show
    channels containing the text “loc rot”, of which there are likely none.

---

Realtime Updates
:   Whether to update other views (such as the 3D Viewport) while you’re moving keyframes around.
    If disabled, the other views only get updated once you finish the move.

Sliders.

Show Sliders
:   Shows a value slider next to each channel. Adjusting such a slider automatically creates a keyframe.

[image reference removed]

Handle types.

Show Handles and Interpolation
:   Displays keyframes using shapes that represent their Bézier handle type.
    In addition, if a keyframe uses a non-default interpolation type for the curve segment
    that comes after it, this is indicated by a green line.

    See [Handles & Interpolation Display](../../animation/keyframes/introduction.xhtml#keyframe-handle-display).

Extreme markers.

Show Curve Extremes
:   Detects keys where the curve changes direction, and marks them by displaying an arrow inside their shape.
    Local maxima (hills) are shown as up arrows, while local minima (valleys) are shown as down arrows.

    A keyframe may show both arrows, namely when it’s part of a summary row containing a channel with a
    maximum and one with a minimum.

Auto-Merge Keyframes
:   Automatically merge keyframes that end up on the same frame after transformation.

---

Show Markers
:   Shows the marker region (provided any markers have been defined).
    When disabled, the [Marker menu](editing.xhtml#dopesheet-marker-menu) is also hidden and marker operators are
    not available in this editor.

Use Timecode `Ctrl`-`T`
:   Shows timing in seconds instead of frames.

Sync Visible Range
:   Synchronizes the horizontal panning and scale of the editor
    with other time-based editors that also have this option enabled.
    That way, they always show the same section of time.

---

Set Preview Range `P`
:   Lets you drag a box to define a time range for previewing. As long as this range is active,
    playback will be limited to it, letting you repeatedly view a segment of the animation without
    having to manually rewind each time.

    You can change the start or end frame using the corresponding button in the
    Timeline editor’s [Playback](../../animation/animation_editors.xhtml#animation-editors-playback) popover.
    Alternatively, you can simply run *Set Preview Range* again.

Clear Preview Range `Alt`-`P`
:   Clears the preview range.

Set Preview Range to Selected `Ctrl`-`Alt`-`P`
:   Applies a preview range that encompasses the selected keyframes.

---

Toggle Graph Editor `Ctrl`-`Tab`
:   Changes the area’s editor to the [Graph Editor](../graph_editor/index.xhtml).

---

Cache
:   Which simulation caches to show on the timeline.

    Baked simulations will be shown as fully opaque, cached simulations will be slightly transparent,
    and invalid caches will be slightly transparent with dark diagonal stripes.

    Timeline Cache.

Area
:   Area controls. See the [user interface](../../interface/window_system/areas.xhtml)
    documentation for more information.
