Select keyframes

In layer bar mode, selected keyframes are yellow. Unselected keyframes are gray.

In Graph Editor mode, the appearance of a keyframe icon depends on whether the keyframe is selected, unselected, or semi-selected (another
keyframe in the same property is selected). Selected keyframes are solid yellow. Unselected keyframes retain the color of their corresponding
graph. Semi-selected keyframes are represented by a hollow yellow box.

To select a keyframe, click the keyframe icon.

To select multiple keyframes, Shift-click the keyframes or drag a marquee (selection box) around the keyframes. If a keyframe is selected,
Shift-clicking it deselects it; Shift-dragging to draw a marquee around selected keyframes deselects them.

To toggle viewing of the free-transform bounding box in the Graph Editor, click the Show Transform Box button at the bottom of the

Graph Editor.

To select all keyframes for a layer property, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) a segment between two keyframes in the Graph
Editor, or click the layer property name in the layer outline.

To select all keyframes for a property that have the same value, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a keyframe, and choose
Select Equal Keyframes.

To select all keyframes that follow or precede a selected keyframe, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a keyframe, and choose
Select Previous Keyframes or Select Following Keyframes.

The Select Previous/Following Keyframes commands aren’t available if more than one keyframe is selected.

Keyframe menu commands

When you select one or more keyframes, the keyframe menu

becomes available at the bottom of the Graph Editor.

To open the keyframe menu, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a keyframe.

Displays the value of the selected keyframe. If more than one keyframe is selected, the Display Value command is available, which

displays the value of the highlighted keyframe in the selection.

Opens a dialog box in which you can edit the value of the keyframe.
