Selecting a keyframe in the timeline should not select the entire clip

When I want to nudge one or multiple audio keyframes in the timeline, say to shift the start/end of a level change, I intuitively select the keyframes and then CMD+ arrow assuming it'll nudge the keyframes the same way you'd nudge a clip in the timeline, but instead, selecting a keyframe selects the entire clip and the nudge command slides the entire audio clip in the timeline.  It would be great if SELECTING A KEYFRAME ONLY SELECTS THE KEYFRAME AND NOT THE ENTIRE CLIP, so that nudging, etc. would work the same for keyframes as it does for clips.  I'm not sure if there's some reasoning behind why selecting a keyframe selects the entire clip, but if there is, I'd be interested to know.

No, they work on the timeline too... you have to establish a keyboard shortcut for that feature.

YOU SIMPLY HAVE TO SETUP A SHORTCUT KEY FOR THAT FEATURE - ANY KEY YOU LIKE

 

 

THANK YOU 🙂

I'm pretty sure I learned from this forum that the Pen tool is very useful for moving audio and video keyframes in the Timeline. The Move Audio Keyframe keyboard shortcuts seem to work only in the Effect Controls panel (v24.1).

Do you have that command set in the Keyboard shortcuts dialog to nudge keyframe?

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
