The Key Editor

The Pose Editor includes an advanced key frame editing window called the Key Editor. This window displays all the key frames on the selected model in a grid format.

The key editor window can be opened by clicking the Key Button on the top of the left panel, next to new, open and save buttons:

Selecting Keys

Keys can be selected by using the mouse. Click with the left mouse button somewhere in the edit window and drag the mouse while holding the button.
A selection box appears and all keys within the box get selected/hilighted.

4 different selection modes are available, all accessible by pressing different keys while holding/releasing the mouse button:

  1. When no key is pressed, the current selection gets replaced by the newly selected keys.
  2. : selected keys get unselected; unselected keys get selected.
  3. : selected keys get unselected; unselected keys are not affected.
  4. + : unselected keys get selected; selected keys are not affected.


Manipulating Keys

All keyboard shortcuts that are available for the timeline, are also available for the key editor. If the Key Editor window is open, shortcut keys will be applied to the Key Editor instead of the Timeline.

  1. + : copy selected keys
  2. + : cut selected keys
  3. + : paste keys at the current frame (from the timeline)

These commands are also available by clicking the right mouse button somewhere within the editor window.
Note: The paste operation does not use the current frame from the timeline, the keys will be pasted at the current mouse position in the Key Editor.

Dragging a selection of keys with the middle mouse button will move it.
Holding down the key while dragging with the middle mouse button will copy the keys.
