Global option to DISABLE 'Auto Bezier'

I have been a professional video editor for 20 years. I work daily on video commercials for some of the biggest brands in the world.

In my 20 years of professional paid work, I have NEVER even once needed or wanted to use ‘auto bezier’ on keyframes. It is a completely useless feature that for some reason CONSTANTLY resets as the default setting when creating position keyframes. It’s a waste of time for it to default to ‘auto bezier’ everytime I create a position keyframe because I then have to right click the keyframes and convert them back to linear.

1) So it should NOT ever change or default from Linear to ‘auto bezier’, unless I SPECIFICALLY click the ‘auto bezier’ option. (Which I never will)

2) or there should be a global option in preferences to DISABLE auto-bezier so it can’t even be clicked. This would be great; because I hate auto-bezier so much. It has wasted thousands and thousands of mouse clicks and time over the years...

 

I literally have a preset created in every project I work on where it has position keyframes created and then converted back to Linear just to avoid it from happening by default.

 

Thank you.
