Select ALL Keyframes in a Composition

[Chummystyle]

I want to ALT drag all keyframes to change the timing within a composition but it's a pain with CTL U and then highlighting 100 keyframes in 20 layers (roughly)
I think this has been asked before but is there still no short cut to select ALL the keyframes in a composition?
Thanks,
Chummy

Ctrl+alt+A will select all the visible keyframes. Whatever fits in the window. You can press the ~ (Tilda/accent grave) to maximize the timeline window.

Take very careful notice when Roei says "VISIBLE KEYFRAMES". You may have more keyframes twirled down BUTT only those keyframes your eyeballs can view will be affected by the CTRL+ALT+A.

I've been burned before with this shortcut; thinking I had selected all twirled down keyframes, and then moves them in time.

So the answer is no then? Because I want to select ALL of them.
This is an obvious shortcut surely?

You CAN select ALL KFs. The issue is the related shortcut. CTRL+ALT+A only selects KFs that your eyes sees - it's a very weird bug that's been there forever.

So, the solution is to combine CTRL+ALT+A with scrolling up/down the Timeline and SHIFT+Marquee selecting KFs that were not selected with CTRL+ALT+A.

It of course helps that you make the Comp Panel full screen while making the selection and you may even bypass the shortcut key and use just the Marquee selection technique.

there isn't one shortcut for this. I think there was a script for this but you have to look it up. will ask around

*Edit: the talented and generous Zack Lovatt https://zacklovatt.com/ created a script called "selectKeysInWorkArea" you can downloaded it on bitbucket:

zlovatt / zl_Scriptlets — Bitbucket

this is the script:

zlovatt / zl_Scriptlets / source / selectKeysInWorkArea.jsx — Bitbucket

you can copy it to a text editor and save as .jsx

Just did it and tried the script. it's lovely

Roei, this is a great find. Thanks!

I had the same question in mind and found this useful! This might not  be an instant solution but it did made my life easier. Just do SHIFT + Click and drag the mouse through your layers. All keyframes inside the box will automatically be selected. scroll down or up (wherever your other layers are) and do the same: shift + drag mouse through layers. Is not as fast as a one time command but this is enough to save me time for now!

Ty for asking the question! helped a lot.
