By default, the Move Nearest Picked Key Tool lets you single-click and drag to adjust tangent handles and keys on a selected curve. You can also set the tool to enable single-click editing for all curves (regardless of whether they are selected).
To allow single-click manipulation for all curves
- Double-click the
Move Nearest Picked Key Tool icon (
) to open the settings.
- Turn off the
Selected only option.
When Selected only is on, single-click editing works on selected curves. When off, you can single-click to edit all curves.
Tip: If you want to use a single-click tangent editing workflow, set tangent handles to always display by selecting
from the
Graph Editor menu bar.
To allow single-click manipulation for selected keys on a curve
- In the Preferences window (), select the Animation category (under Settings) and find the Graph Editor preferences.
- Ensure the
Left Mouse Button Alters Selections preference is enabled, which is the default state.
When this preference is enabled, you can move a selected key with a single click and drag.
