Better Way of Querying Selected Keyframes?

[Wesley Chandler]

Hey guys!

Does anyone know a better way of querying selected keyframes in an animation curves for multiple objects?  

My overall objective is to save a variable that has the selection of keyframes stored, that I can later on make edits to.

Currently, I can query the name of the curves and the selected keyframes separately:

curve_names =  cmds.keyframe(q=True, name=True)
selected_index_keys =  cmds.keyframe(q=True, selected=True)

But if I wanted to do a simple edit to that selection, I can't just affect the selected keyframes:

magically_combined_selection = curve_names + selected_index_keys

cmds.keyframe(magically_combined_selection , relative=True, timeChange=5)

I feel like there should be an easy way to query selected keyframes that you can just pass through cmds.keyframe to edit as a whole.

Any ideas? =)

Since the keyframe command will operate on the total selection (all the selected keyframes of all the selected objects), could you just manage the selection list via the selectKey command? You could loop over your mapping of objects to keys and add them to the total selection.

Would that work?

Hey Justin!

That sounds like a good idea! I'll give it a go!

Cheers!
