[Request] A way to handle overlapping motion paths without going crazy.Open for Voting

Hello.Thank you for considering this suggestion.When working with character animations inside After Effects, it often happens that some motion paths overlap each other (for example when a character swings its arms or moves its hand).The very serious issue is that After Effects does not provide a way to handle the keyframes themselves precisely.Most of the times, when I select a keyframe in the viewport, After Effects selects an other one close by,  making ajusting keyframes that are in very close proximity borderline impossible.Even worse, when I try to adjust a bezier handle, it never gets the right one, and selecting each keyframe to adjust in the timeline doesn't help either.I'm basically asking for a revision of this system, as it makes character animations inside After Effects needlessly sloppy and frustrating.One solution would be to enable a toggle to only display the currently selected keyframe, or alongside it's previous and next ones.I provided an example of what I'm talking about, in the video below.You can see I'm fumbling and failing to be precise, especially since After Effects does not allow zooming any further (2, or 3 additional levels of zoom would mitigate this issue). I must have had this problem for more than 10 years, and I'm starting to grow tired of the endless frustration, especially since After Effects it's shifting its focus on 3D, instead of updating its core functionality which made the software popular in the first place.I love After Effects, and I have been using it nonstop since 2008, but some of its core tools really need to be updated.Cheers,Filippo.Thank you very much.

Show Update Size and allow Pause (not Stop) on active updatesOpen for Voting

It is baffling to me in 2024, that one of the biggest media production suites, has such a terrible Install / Update experience. Simply put, when one of my Adobe Apps receive an update, I want to be able to know whether I can commit to an update or leave it for some other time where my PC will have *supposedly enough* idle time for the update. I do not want to gamble whether Adobe CC Client can finish a given update, by the time I complete my other tasks elsewhere. Some must have, basic features that are software industry standards for ages: - Show users the update size for the software in Adobe CC Client. I want to know whether the update is a 5 minute patch, or a 30+ minute feature update. No, stating "Improvements to the Text Based Editing process and speed using AI features" does not give me an idea.  - Allow users to "Pause" updates. Currently, the only option is to "Stop" the update, which cancels it out entirely, removing the already downloaded files, requiring you to start anew. So many times I had instances of updates taking way too long, but because there is no way of limiting how much bandwidth Adobe CC uses for updates (despite there being one for file syncing), Adobe CC just hogs my entire bandwidth, rendering my entire home network useless for the duration of the update. There is nothing more infuriating than having to scrap a long update, because something came up that I needed the bare minimum internet for. - Allow users to set bandwidth limits for Software Updates, the same way there are limiters for data syncing with the cloud. Or at least there used to be, now that I check, that's been removed from Preferences as well. It really should not be acceptable that I have no control on whether Adobe CC just hogs my entire network bandwidth or not.  "Just do it when you go to bed" is not a solution, when most people prefer to turn off their devices when they are not in active use.
