Hey! As I was trying the new 6.3 beta, I stumbled into the pleasant surprise of the redesigned Hierarchy panel. It looks very nice! But I’d like to provide a couple of pieces of feedback. [Screenshot 2025-09-29 alle 09.59.25] No Enter to rename on Mac On Mac, I can’t hit Enter to rename an objec…

Thanks for your interest and for the feedback, it’s really useful! I will share your screenshot with the team as another example of what people need to be doing with their hierarchy window.

Thanks for the detailed response. We are currently transitioning from Unity 2022.2 to 6.3, so there is no urgency. I truly value well‑designed and stable tools.

Right now, if you select multiple objects and toggle the active state, only the first selected one is changed, not the e…

@sebastienlh can we please get a shortcut to be able to drag an item in the hierarchy and then use the mouse wheel up / down at the same time to re-parent things more easily. Similar to “shift” + mouse wheel for horizontal scroll. Right now it is a super hard to-do with only having a small place at…

You missed one of the most irritating issues with the new hierarchy. Yes, it looks good, but the major problem is: Let’s say you select an object in the old hierarchy and enter play mode. It will keep the object selected and show its inspector. When you stop play mode, the object stays selected in …
