Keyframe Navigation and Selection

Keyframe Navigation and Selection

Although no shortcut can hold a candle to the überkey,
there are several other useful Timeline shortcuts:
. J and K keys navigate backward and forward, respectively,
through all visible keyframes, layer markers, and
Work Area boundaries; hide the properties you don’t
want to navigate.
. Click Property name to select all keyframes for a property.
. Context-click keyframe > Select Previous Keyframes
or Select Following Keyframes to avoid diffi cult drag
selections.
. Context-click keyframe > Select Equal Keyframes to hit
all keyframes with the same setting.
. Alt/Option+Shift+Transform shortcut (P, A, S, R, or T)
sets a keyframe; no need to click anywhere.
. Click a property Stopwatch to set the fi rst keyframe at
the current frame (if no keyframe exists), or delete all
existing keyframes.
. Cntl/Command-click an Effect stopwatch to set a
keyframe.
. Ctrl+Alt+A/Cmd+Option+A selects all visible keyframes
while leaving the source layers, making it easy to delete
them when, say, duplicating a layer but changing its
animation.
. Shift+F2 deselects keyframes only.
Read on; you are not a keyframe Jedi—yet.
