The New Keys Toolbar is found in the Curve Editor. It allows you to easily access new tools for working with keys.
Interface

- Lock Selection
- Locks the key(s) you have selected, so you cannot inadvertently select another.

Draw Curves.

Add/Remove Keys

- Slide Keys

- Scale Keys
- Use Scale Keys to compress or expand the amount of time between keyframes. Works both in Curve Editor and Dope Sheet modes.
