Toggle Dope Sheet
Switch to the Dope Sheet Editor.
Note that this is a Blender relict. In Bforartists we already have a convenient top level UI menu entry to switch between the editors. We haven't removed this Blender entry for two reasons. It can be hotkeyed. And the entry shows that this Blender functionality exists.
