Identify which bone a keyframe controls?

This is something I bump into constantly, I'm animating on twos and I see a cluster of keyframes, some of them are in between the twos. I need to identify which bone the keyframes are controlling to know which way I need to move them.

I have couple dozen bones in the bone layer and having to click on each one every time is pretty time consuming. I assumed that the keyframe panel would show the name of the bone it's controlling but I can't find any mention of it anywhere.

Is there a way to do this?

Sorry for the noob question!

I think this is probably what you want -- It's from a while ago; I haven't updated the code since 12.5 but I run it on 14.x without problems.

Thanks! I'll look up how scripts work, I haven't gotten that far yet 🤓
