"Stretching" keyframes proportionately

Hi everybody.

I just switched to PPro from Sony Vegas. Is there a way to "stretch" multiple key frames so that they keep their relative distances? In Vegas, I'd hold Alt while moving the last selected key frame and it would work. In PPro, that copies the key frames. I've tried all other modifier keys/key combinations and nothing does it. Is that even doable in PPro?

Thanks.

I found this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFbFUvfMVgE

But the Alt key no longer works for this and copies keyframes, I don't know what they replaced it with for this functionality.

Just change the speed by right clicking on the clip and it spreads out the keyframes.

Changing the speed by right clicking doesn't work for me: the keyframes stay in their initial position.

Make a preset of the keyframes and save it to Scale.

Re-insert clip on timeline and drop preset.

Not in PPro. After Effects does it the way that you described.

Possible work around.

You can copy the clip with the keyframes. (Edit/copy)

Make a longer version of the clip in your timeline, (Edit/paste attributes) on to the longer clip. and check scale attribute times in the paste attributes panel. replace the shorter clip with the longer one.

Not as convenient as the "stretch/compress option" but no math.
