6.0 beta 18 : Moving keyframe with keyboard

[Kalain]

Hi,

it would be nice to have possibility to change keyframe time with keyboard.

by now, left and right key jump at next and previous keyframe, may be when Ctrl key is holded, right and left key could move and change keyframe time value. (same as you can do with up/down key when focus is on keyframe time field)

also, when Ctrl+shift key is holded, left and right key could change keyframe time quicker, increasing time by 0.1 sec (rather than milli sec)

In my opinion, as you can move a keyframe with the mouse, it would be an incidental feature... but why not.

In general way, in the software keypoints are not designed to be managed throug keyboard but only by mouse.

You can't slide keypoint along time line through keyboard.

From an selected keypoint You can't edit it's value through keyboard.

But from keyboard you can :

- add a keypoint (Ins)

- delete a key point. (del)

Here is a screen copy to illustrate better missing keyboard features around keyboard keypoint management.

Kalain,

Why not just overkey the value to that which you want using the keyboard? This is what I do.

mmmh, not sure to understand your answer.

Did I missed something with keypoint/keyboard.

Kalain, if you have a keypoint at 6500 ms, instead of gradually increase or decrease the time value of this keypoint with your new keystrokes, you can type directly the new value in the Keyframe Time box.
