Situation: The shortcut for setting a keyframe will always display as whatever property is selected under Animation → Add Keyframe . So, if a Position keyframe is selected, it will appear as Add Position Keyframe in the Animation menu. If a Time Remap value is selected, it will display as Add Time Remap Keyframe. Issue: It will also display as Add Time Remap Keyframe in the shortcuts manager (if selected before opening up the manager), implying one can set a custom shortcut specifically for Time Remapping. The shortcut manager will display the keystroke for Add Keyframe as Add WHATEVER VALUE HAS BEEN SELECTED Keyframe. So it tricks you into thinking one could set up shortcuts for specific properties. It probably simply references what the Animation Menu is showing, whereas it shouldn’t (in this specific case at least). Adobe After Effects version number: 24.5 Operating systems: macOS 14.5 (23F79), Windows 10.0.19045 Build 19045 Steps to reproduce: Select a property, open up the shortcuts manager, search for Keyframe. Expected result: The shortcut for Add WHATEVER VALUE HAS BEEN SELECTED Keyframe should always simply display as Add Keyframe in the shortcuts manager.
