Suffixes (optional)

It is possible to add a suffix to the end of the script function in order to force Keystone to group keyframes by layer, by property or all together.

• -LAYER groups keyframes by layer. Correspond to the default behaviour of a simple click.

• -PROPERTY groups keyframes by property. Correspond to the ALT (⌥) + click behaviour.

• -ALL groups keyframes all together. Correspond to the SHIFT + click behaviour.

Suffix Example

alignFirstKey-PROPERTY will force the alignement of all the selected keyframes of each property on the CTI without having to use the combination ALT (⌥) + click.

Suffix example

• Suffixes are optional and without any suffix the hotkeys ALT (⌥) and SHIFT apply like in the extension.

• Suffixes are not available for all features, such as Constant speed, Overlap cleaning or Align to nearest frame.
