Wanted Help with using a keystroke to select tokens on the token layer, to effectively tab through all tokens, each time having the map re-center on the selected token. Is this possible?

Hello, I have been using role 20 for a little while, but I’m only now really starting to try to speed up my workflow and get more comfortable with key strokes. I’m looking find a way where I could press a key stroke to select a token on the token layer and have my map automatically zoomed in and centered around that token. Then, ideally press that key stroke again to almost tab through (cycling through) all of the tokens that are on the token layer, rapidly to arrive at the token I wish to use without having to mouse to it and click it. Also, it would be so cool if it worked in a way that that wile I’m effectively tabbing through the tokens on the token layer, my map is automatically re-centered on the selected token. I’m hoping that if I can figure out how to do this with a key command, that I could then map those commands to a scroll wheel on my Stream Deck, so that as I spin the knob, I am rotating through all the tokens currently on the map in order to quickly fly between all my tokens without having to adjust my map to mouse over to it and click it to select. Do any of you happen to know if there is a simple key stroke way to switch between available tokens, and especially to automatically center orient the map around that selected token when it’s been selected? If any of you can provide me with any help on how I could make this possible, it would certainly help me out, and maybe someone else if they ever have a similar idea and could use some help. Thank you so much! -Jonathan

Hi Johnathan! There is nothing built in to do this, but a script could probably manage most of it. Even then, it would have to be a macro/button press to activate. Out of curiosity, what are you trying to accomplish with this behavior? There might be other workflows.
