Description

A more robust tool for deleting keyframes in Maya, including deleting keys on the current frame and which are visible in the graph editor. Alternately, delete selected channels.

Installation

Copy this file into your maya scripts directory, for example:

C:/Documents and Settings/user/My Documents/maya/scripts/ml_deleteKey.py

Run the tool in a python shell or shelf button by importing the module, and then calling the primary function:

import ml_deleteKey
ml_deleteKey.ui()

Usage

Run the tool, select the options, and press the Delete Key button. Set the options and right click the button to create a hotkey or shelf button. If selected keys is unchecked, it will delete keys on the current frame regardless of key selection. Delete sub-frames will include keys which fall within half a frame of the current time. The second button operates on entire channels, and it will delete the channels that are selected, or all the channels on an object.
