Use Zoom Selected Object to place the currently selected object at the top of the Hierarchy list in the controller window.
In Dope Sheet mode, Zoom Selected Object affects the Hierarchy list as well as the Edit window, but in the Curve Editor, it affects only the Hierarchy list. This function scrolls the hierarchy to place the track of the currently selected object at the top of the list. If the object is a child of a closed hierarchy, the hierarchy is opened to display the selected object. If more than one object is selected in the scene, the uppermost selected object in the Hierarchy list is placed at the top of the list. If no objects are selected, nothing happens. This function works only on object tracks.
