Maybe just changing a shortcut for merging will fix it for you? Also what is this other option, "merging frames"? How should it work? not a shortcut problem, but a "safety" problem: if merging layers cannot be undone, it's important to have a confirmation popup before doing it. to answer your question, merging frame would merge the frames of layers at a specific time (and only those frames) while merging layers would merge every frame of those layers. The purpose of the shortcut is to do something quickly, a popup would defeat that purpose. People usually use this shortcut in their workflow multiple times, there are even people who make a new layer, draw a stroke, erase parts of it and then merge to the 'main' layer. Also we in general try to avoid popups as much as possible, since they are often distracting. If you have an issue with accidentaly merging layers, you should just remove the shortcut or make it longer etc. to make sure it won't happen again. The merging frames thing is interesting, but it would be a new action, most probably. Note for someone implementing, make sure it work correctly when on the current time slot the result layer (on the bottom) or one of the to-merge layers don't have a keyframe exactly in that time slot, but in some previous timeslots. Especially if those keyframes are semi-transparent. |
