without doing anything with the animation... jus make a random frame in the timeline... got AS yesterday =D

in timeline, just right click and add keyframe on the animated channel you want.

dont know why i didnt think of that. thanks =)

Just checking : any keyboard shortcut as well ?

I have been looking for one in the manual, but haven't found any. And I don't suppose we have access to any Timeline file where to create one (as in the _tool_list.txt file)...

There can't be a keyboard shortcut because AS doesn't know which timeline you want to create a key in without the user clicking at it.

There is, however, a way to create a key for every timeline on a certain frame: under Animation > copy current frame, just copy it to itself.

You're right -- but couldn't a new keyframe be created, by default, with a keyboard shortcut on the current tool's timeline (ie Translate Layer, or Color Fill) ?

Yes, it would require modifying each of the tools. Not a bad idea. Isn't there a script that "almost" adds keys for every channel/layer? Or is it just points? I suppose you could pull out the relevant chunks of that script into different functions and make a "utility" script. Each tool would use the same key combo but it would call a different function depending on which tool is selected.

Oh how I hope there are just a few extra scripting features in the new update.

I have the script for a tool that creates keys for everything -- I modified it because the default key type is step (and I wanted smooth) and I added a keyboard shortcut so all I have to do is press a key to key everything, no matter where I am.

Comes in extremely useful -- the script was part of a set of other scripts (don't remember which person wrote it, but initials are JS).
