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.

    The worst thing is that it automatically reverts to spatial bezier, at least temporal doesn’t make your animations jitter all over the place when you make tweaks. But I’d rather have linear and adjust to temporal by hand.
