Locks off movement on the X or Y axis. You can also press X to
restrict movement to the X axis, or press Y to restrict movement

Keyframe Move Mode This mode determines the behavior when keyframes are
moved left and right past other nonselected keys. This behavior
is discussed in “U
sing Keyframe Move Modes” on page 307.

neighbor keyframes. However, if you manually adjust a tangent,
Shake recognizes this and disables this automatic adjustment.
Click Reset Tangents to reset the tangents to their unset state.

ins and ease outs. You can also press H.
