those parameters are for actual ae_key_tools.I used them in my function. you can find them on middle combo box. slider and percentage text box and ok are for tween machine

Oh I see them now. Thanks.

Can't find any information about "moho string channel". What is it?

Link seems to be down.

I want to try the tool, but the Mediafire link is not working here.
Is anyone else having that issue?

I don't know what most of the options do, but the slider alone is magic!
Thanks so much for sharing such a great time saving tool.

I don't know if that makes sense for the way you are using it, but I think it would be great if the keyframes created by this tool had a different color, so you can visually know where the extremes are.

I was just wondering about retakes. I'm not sure yet, but I was thinking it would be nice to have these special keys labeled with a special color. That would make the timeline easier to understand and also it would be easier to remove these interpolations and apply them again with different values.
I hope it makes sense.

A string is just a string of number/letter characters.

Now its a bit too much trial-and-error to get the keys right, which makes it slower or at least more tedious than manually posing the overshoot in my case.

elseif msg == self.SLIDER_CHANGE then
		if not self.undoPrepped then
			moho.document:PrepMultiUndo()
			moho.document:SetDirty()
			self.undoPrepped = true
		end
		self.slidertext:SetValue(self.slider:Value())
		self.slidertextVal = self.slider:Value()
		self.sliderVal = self.slider:Value()
		self:SetKeyTween(moho,self.slider:Value())
		moho:UpdateUI()
		moho.layer:UpdateCurFrame()
		if(not self.slider:IsMouseDragging()) then	
			self.undoPrepped = false
		end

	self.slider = LM.GUI.Slider(500,false,false, self.SLIDER_CHANGE)
	layout:AddChild(self.slider)
	self.slider:SetRange(-100,200)
	self.slider:SetNumTicks(3)
	self.slider:SetShowTicks(true)
	self.slider:SetSnapToTicks(false)
	self.slider:SetFatSlider(true)
