Move Keys

Procedures

To move a selection of keys in Curve Editor:

1. In the Hierarchy list, highlight one or more tracks.

   Only keys in highlighted tracks appear in the Key window.

   By default, the Move Keys button is highlighted.

2. In the Track View Key window, highlight one or more keys.
3. Drag the highlighted keys to a new location, or press Shift and drag the highlighted keys to add copies at the new location.

   If you drag a highlighted key on top of another key, the moved key replaces the other one.

To move a selection of keys in Dope Sheet:

1. On the Keys Toolbar, click (Move Keys) if it isn't already highlighted. (It should be on by default.)
2. Highlight the keys you want to move in the Key window by dragging a selection rectangle around the keys. You can also use Ctrl+click to highlight non-contiguous keys.
3. Position the mouse cursor over one of the highlighted keys, and then drag horizontally to move the keys in time.
   Tip: Press spacebar to lock the key selection. Then you don't have to drag over the selected key, but anywhere in the viewport. This is useful when you have a complex selection set of keys.

Interface

The Move Keys tools are available from a flyout on the Keys toolbar in both Track View modes, and also on the Key Controls toolbar in Track View - Curve Editor. The default tool, Move Keys, lets you move keys in any direction in Curve Editor. In Dope Sheet, all three tools allow horizontal (timing) movement only.
