Move keys on a curve

By default in the Graph Editor, you can simply click and drag to move a selected key on a curve.

To move keys on a curve

  1. Select the animated object whose curves you want to edit.
  2. In the Graph Editor, select a key in the Graph View area, then drag to move it. Moving the key changes the shape of your curve.

If you want to disable the single-click editing workflow, you can turn off the Left-dragging moves selected keys preference in the Animation (Settings) preferences and use the Move Nearest Picked Key Tool on the Graph Editor toolbar to explicitly move keys with the middle mouse button. (Disable Left-dragging moves selected keys in the Graph Editor heading in your Animation preferences.)

Tip: To move a key one frame at a time, press Shift + 9 to move it left, and Shift + 0 to move it right.
