Paste X-Flipped Pose: Fix Mirrored Rotations For Keyframe Interpolation And Animation!
The current mirroring of poses does not take keyframes into account. It inverts certain values for the quaternion rotation which gives a perfectly mirrored STATIC pose, but once these values are interpolating to eachother they rotate in the shortest, but incorrect direction.
I think the pattern is positive positive negative negative, which technically mirrors the pose, but it works ass for animations. By manual tinkering i found the solution is that the pose should be mirrored as copy copy invert invert for keyframes that interpolate properly.
The solution is to copy over the values for W and X but invert Y and Z from the bone they're copied from. Really weird that this is an issue to begin with, considering how straight forward the solution seems.

are your bones in quaternion rotation mode? If yes then interpolating the shortest path is expected. That's just how quaternions work.
If I misunderstood you, please clarify
