Keyboard shortcuts for arming behaviors

It would be very helpful for workflow speed if we could assign hotkeys for arming specific behaviors and puppet tracks. Instead of having to mouse over to the puppet to disarm it so that I can see it's current position, a quick keyboard shortcut would really help. Same with the item behaviors - if I have the Dragger armed, but I want to turn it off and instead use the mouse for Eye Gaze, I have to scroll through all the behaviors and find the ones I want to arm/disarm. If each behavior had an assignable hotkey, it would be much better.

Here is the current list of CH shortcut keys: Character Animator keyboard shortcuts (adobe.com)

While there are no shortcuts for specific behaviors, you can use the ctrl key + clicking on one of the red behavior dots to toggle them all on or off. From there, it's an easy matter to do something like turn all of the behaviors off and then (for instance) just click on dragger to turn it on.

+1. This would be a 10x productivity gain for me. Some specific suggestions:

 

  1. Shortcut to disarm recording for all behaviors.
  2. Shortcut to toggle recording for behavior X. An implementation suggestion: shortcuts will correspond to behavior type and will exist both to arm a single behavior of a certain type or all behaviors. E.g. ctrl+shift+0 will toggle A dragger. When pressed again, it will toggle the next dragger (while turning off the previous one). Ctrl+shift+alt+0 will toggle all draggers.
