Absolute keyframe placement
As things stand, moving a keyframe is relative to its current position which makes things complicated when trying to move it to a specific frame. For example, if I have a key at frame 225 and want to move it to frame 205, I select it, then either do the math:
G
-20
, but that means I have to know the exact current position, or move the playhead to 205 then use
Shift
S
and select "Selection to current frame" (as seen
here
). Either methods are convoluted.
My proposal: When in the timeline/dopesheet, pressing
G
a second time goes into Absolute placement mode.
So in my example I would just need to type
G
G
205

Maybe something else than typing G again. But i like the idea and can't think of an other option at this point. So yeah, would be nice
* @Finn Schmidt * Well I thought the "double transform" shortcuts in 3D go from local coordinates to global, so it would be easy to remember, but yeah, what matters is having the option, any key would do
