Re: Re: Select Next Keyframe (in selected property) script

Hi again,

i don't know how to reference a new short cut. As ai said i might be somehow possible with an AppleScript but i don't know how that works, and it won't work on Windows anyway.

Here is another "solution", it works and is actually quite useful:

1. Open After Effects.
2. Open the script editor (File>Scripts>Open Script File)
3. Copy paste the code below
4. Save it in your Scripts folder (not the ScriptUI Panels folder, there is no UI) under a name for which you are sure it will be the first in your scripts collections (for the test, i used $01_SelectCurrentKeys.jsx)
5. Close After Effects.
6. Then Open your After Effects Shortcuts.txt (see this thread for details on where to find it, how to edit it: Re: Custom hotkeys)
7. Choose a shortCut for "ExecuteScriptMenuItem01" (that's the hard part all combinations are taken already)
8. Save and relaunch AE:

What the shorcut will do: select the keyframe right under the CTI for all selected layers. Any other key is deselected.

It's not exactly what you asked but... i think it's better: Use J/K to navigate and that new shortcut to actually select.

If you want to stick to your original idea, it gives you a base to start with.
