Hi everyone!
While fine-tuning particle effects I often stack several curves in the Curve Editor (e.g. Life Scale , Life Rotation , Life Alpha ). Because every curve is currently drawn in the same yellow, it’s hard to see at a glance which keyframes belong to which property—especially once there are a lot of control points.

I searched briefly Defold repository issues and couldn’t found a similar one, so please make a Github Issue with this feature request:
This one though might be also useful, regarding curve editor:

It would speed up the fx workflow immensely to be able to select from a preset l… ist of curves in the curve editor, rather than creating your own curve every time you start a new emitter.
When you open a particle emitter and set a property to use a curve, I would like for there to be a list of preset curve options I can choose, which will wipe away the currently set keys and reset the curve to be one of the presets. The preset options could be smooth curve going from zero to one with flat tangents at zero and one, smooth curve going from one to zero with flat tangents at one and zero, linear curve from zero to one with linear tangents and zero and one, linear curve from one to zero with linear tangents at one and zero, etc
There is no alternative solution to this issue, only to set every curve for every emitter.

I am always frustrated when I make a curve in the particle emitter curve editor … and I want to use the same curve in another emitter, but I cant copy and paste my curve from one emitter to another. I have to try my best to reconstruct the exact same graph and without the ability to explicitly set key values in the curve editor.
I would like the ability to go into an emitter, find a property in which I am currently using curve over the particle life, with that curve displayed in the curve editor I would like to select all of the keys of that curve, press and hold CTRL and press C on my keyboard, go to another emitter to a property where I would like the same curve to be used, and in the curve editor for that property press and hold CTRL and press V on my keyboard and those keys are pasted into the curve of the new emitter, replacing the keys that are currently set on that property.
There is no solution to this problem. All you can do is try to set similar values in each curve and hope they are both similar enough.

done, actually i`m a bit surprised to be a first person to ask this

My best guess is because people are used to use the checkboxes on the left site simply (that’s what I do)

But this is a QoL feature that improves Editor nicely
